U.S. v. Wasson

Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant's motion to dismiss on speedy trial grounds his indictment on charge of conspiracy to defraud U.S. govt. through creation of sham trusts designed to divert his clients' taxable income. Record showed that defendant either sought or concurred with both continuances at issue in motion to dismiss, and Ct. rejected defendant's contention that Dist. Ct. was required to provide specific written findings that justified its "ends-of-justice" rationale at time it granted said continuances where Dist. Ct. assured itself of complexity of case with both parties at time of instant continuance requests and gave written explanation for said continuances when denying motion to dismiss.
