Criminal Procedure
Speedy trial

The State appeals from an order dismissing the criminal prosecution against Mary K. Benz due to the denial of Benz’s right to a speedy trial. The State argues it should not be faulted for the bulk of the delay and that, on balance, Benz was not prejudiced.  We disagree with the State and affirm the order dismissing the prosecution for the speedy trial violation. Affirmed. This opinion will not be published.
