Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of 2 counts of sexual exploitation of a child and 7 counts of child pornography. Original indictment provided Defendant with sufficient notice of the supplementary charges included in the superseding indictment. Thus, the child pornography charges were not "new and additional" for purposes of a speedy trial analysis. Thus, Defendant's speedy trial right was not violated as to the child pornography charges. (HUTCHINSON and JORGENSEN, concurring.)
