Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of DUI and improper lane usage. Defendant was not denied a speedy trial, because he never made an effective demand. No ineffective assistance of counsel for failing to move for discharge. Court correctly held that Defendant was in simultaneous custody, and was entitled to credit for time served while arrest warrants were outstanding in this case, even though he was in the custody of another county. Because he was in custody on this case at time he made a speedy trial demand, that demand was premature and had no legal effect. (HUDSON, concurring; HUTCHINSON, dissenting.)
