Matter of L.S., Youth

Summary

The Montana Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s denial of L.S.’s motion to dismiss for lack of a speedy trial, holding that the 329‑day delay did not violate his speedy‑trial rights after applying the established four‑factor analysis. The Court concluded that time spent in voluntary treatment facilities was not attributable to the State and that L.S. failed to demonstrate prejudice from the delay.
