People v. Mullins 

Defendant was charged in October 2008 with possession of a controlled substance and possession with intent to deliver. In December 2009, court granted Defendant's motion to dismiss for violation of right to speedy trial. Court's dismissal was proper, as Defendant and Circuit Clerk both notified State of his demand for trial. Defendant's misnumbering of his case number on his handwritten "Motion for Speedy Trial", and his description of charges as "Possession With Intent To Deliver possession" did not negate his demand. Defendant invoked his right to a speedy trial when he complied with the requirements of the Intrastate Detainers statute, and whether State received the demand is not controlling. (TURNER and APPLETON, concurring.)
