North Dakota Supreme Court
State v. Solomon
July 17, 20252025 ND 133
Summary
The court affirmed Solomon’s convictions, holding that the district court had good cause to set trial 41 days beyond the statutory 90-day speedy-trial period. Applying the relevant factors, the court relied on the parties’ scheduling conflicts, defense counsel’s agreement to the trial date, the absence of deliberate prosecutorial delay, and the lack of demonstrated prejudice. The court also declined to consider an external case record because the existing appellate record was sufficient to rebut Solomon’s allegations.
