State v. Brooks

Summary

The Nebraska Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s denial of Brooks’ motion for absolute discharge, holding that the period from May 23 to July 15 was properly excluded as good cause under §29‑1207(4)(f) and that, after that exclusion, the October 1 trial date fell within the statutory six‑month period. The court also said it need not resolve whether the request was a continuance because the good‑cause finding alone resolved the speedy‑trial issue.
