Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit March 2, 1981, No. 80-1341 (Atkins v. Michigan)

MERRITT, Circuit Judge.

The state of Michigan appeals the District Court’s grant of Atkins’ petition for a writ of habeas corpus dismissing his state-court murder indictment on grounds that the state violated his sixth amendment right to a speedy trial and violated the fourteenth amendment in denying him bail. In January 1979 Atkins was arrested on the charge of first degree murder.
