Indiana Supreme Court December 9, 1998, 29S02-9810-CR-541 (Diederich v. State)

SHEPARD, Chief Justice.

Charges had been pending against appellant Joseph Diederich for nearly a year when the trial court set a trial some six months off. Defense counsel mailed an objection two working days later and moved for discharge. The trial court said he had not acted promptly enough because he had used the mail rather than fax or hand delivery. The Court of Appeals affirmed.
