Wilkie v. State
Annotate this CaseDefendant was indicted for malice murder, felony murder, and aggravated assault after the victim was fatally shot with a crossbow. Defendant subsequently filed a motion for discharge and acquittal and plea in bar, alleging that his constitutional right to a speedy trial had been violated. The court concluded that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by ruling that the presumptive prejudice arising from delay in bringing defendant to trial was insufficient for him to prevail on his constitutional speedy trial claim, given that the State's pre-indictment delay was not intentional, that defendant was dilatory in asserting his rights, and that there was not any demonstrable prejudice to his defense.
