Angela Zimmerman v. Circuit Court of Miller County

Summary

The court granted Zimmerman’s petition for writ of certiorari and held that her speedy-trial period was not tolled until the written nolle prosequi order was filed. Because that 290-day period, when added to the previously calculated untolled time, exceeded the applicable limit, the court held that her speedy-trial right was violated; it found her challenge preserved but did not reach her separate challenge to an earlier period. Justice Rhonda K. Wood, dissenting, would have denied the writ because the requirements for extraordinary certiorari relief were not met.
