Defendant was convicted, after stipulated bench trial, of DUI. Court properly struck Defendant's speedy trial demand, as Defendant failed to send a copy of demand to chief administrative officer of Lawrence Correctional Center, as required by Section 3-8-10 of Unified Code of Corrections. Irrelevant that Defendant was incarcerated at that Correctional Center, as State was under no obligation to remedy Defendant's failure to follow requirements of Section 3-8-10. (McLAREN and HUTCHINSON, concurring.)
