Defendant filed a third motion for discharge, alleging a speedy-trial violation. State was entitled to 240 total days to bring Defendant to trial. Because only 162 days of delay are attributable to State, court erred in granting Defendant's motion for discharge. (STEIGMANN and APPLETON, concurring.)
