Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Speedy Trial
Written notice of speedy-trial demand, filed with clerk and noted by court in docket entry, but not provided to State, was insufficient notice to State, where only notice was statement by defense counsel in open court only that he "believed" that he would file a speedy-trial demand. Court improperly discharged Defendant prior to expiration of speedy-trial period. Court properly allowed extension of time for DNA testing, and properly attributed delay to State.
