Stevie Bradley v. State of Indiana

Summary

The court held that a sua sponte competency evaluation tolls, rather than resets or extinguishes, the Criminal Rule 4(B) speedy-trial period when the defendant maintains a position reasonably consistent with an early-trial request. Although the trial court improperly restarted the seventy-day period, Bradley waived discharge because he did not timely and specifically identify that scheduling error before the deadline expired. The court therefore affirmed the judgment.
