State v. Steigelman
Annotate this Case
Defendant was charged with felony DUI and two misdemeanors. Defendant filed a motion to dismiss the charges on speedy trial grounds. The district court denied the motion. Defendant subsequently pleaded guilty to DUI pursuant to a plea agreement with the State in which the State agreed to drop the misdemeanor charges. Thereafter, Defendant appealed the district court's denial of his motion to dismiss. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court correctly found the State did not violate Defendant's right to a speedy trial where (1) Defendant's delay exceeded the 200-day trigger for a speedy trial analysis; but (2) the State's institutional delay did not prejudice Defendant.
