Description
ALMON, Judge. Appellant was indicted in Houston County, Alabama, for second degree burglary. After several years delay caused by his imprisonment
in the State of Georgia appellant filed a motion to dismiss the indictment on the ground that the State of Alabama had denied
him his constitutional right to a speedy trial. He also entered a special plea requesting discharge from the indictment on
the ground that he had been discharged from an Alabama detainer by a Georgia court on a writ of habeas corpus based upon the
denial to him of a speedy trial by the State of Alabama. After a hearing at which several witnesses testified the trial court
overruled the plea and denied the motion. At a jury trial on appellant's plea of not guilty he was found guilty and the court
sentenced him to seven years imprisonment.
