Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Commonwealth v. Womack, M., Aplt.

May 31, 2024

Summary

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania affirmed the Superior Court’s order denying Marcus Womack’s Rule 600 motion, holding that the speedy‑trial clock begins on the filing date of the second complaint when the Commonwealth shows due diligence, that the filing was necessitated by factors beyond its control, and that there was no attempt to circumvent the rule. The Court applied the Meadius test and found the Commonwealth satisfied all required factors.
