Corey Hills, Petitioner v. Westminster Municipal Court and Honorable Paul D. Basso, Judge, Respondents

Summary

The court held that a statutory speedy-trial delay is attributable to the defendant when the trial court, despite docket congestion, reasonably offers a trial date within the deadline and defense counsel rejects it because of a scheduling conflict, requiring a later date. Because the resulting delay was excludable, dismissal was not required, and the court affirmed the court of appeals. No separate opinions were filed.
