Massachusetts Appeals Court February 10, 1977 (Commonwealth v. Blaney)

Brown, J.

The defendant appeals under G. L. c. 278, §§ 33A-33G, from a conviction by a jury of unlawfully carrying a firearm. The defendant assigns as error the denial of his pre-trial motions to dismiss the indictment on the ground that he was denied the right to a speedy trial guaranteed to him under the United States Constitution.
