Court properly denied motion of Defendant to dismiss indictment for aggravated DUI under influence of a controlled substance. Defendant was not denied his right to a speedy trial. Length of delay was not extremely protracted and did not present a threat to fairness of his trial. Prejudice suffered by Defendant due to delay of State in producing him for court on felony charges does not warrant a finding that his speedy-trial right was violated. (HOWSE and LAVIN, concurring.)
