Zorel Tilson v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court denied Tilson’s petition for extraordinary relief, holding that the criminal division had jurisdiction after the juvenile delinquency petition was dismissed by nolle prosequi and that Tilson’s speedy-trial challenge was not preserved. The court concluded that no jurisdictional defect or gross abuse of discretion appeared on the face of the record. The court also held that Tilson failed to object when the State sought the nolle prosequi and failed to raise an additional claimed exclusion-period issue in the circuit court.
