Court of Appeals of Georgia June 21, 2004, A04A0393 (Merrow v. State)

BLACKBURN, Presiding Judge.

Kyle Merrow appeals the denial of his motion for discharge and acquittal, which was based on the ground that he was not given a speedy trial. Finding that his motion was premature and that he failed to demand a speedy trial, we affirm.

1. We first address whether Merrow’s motion for discharge and acquittal was premature under the applicable speedy trial statute.
