Speedy trial — Documents not in prosecution’s possession
KA 21-00656
Appealed from Monroe County Court
Background: The defendant appealed from his conviction of driving while ability impaired. He argues that the indictment ought to have been dismissed on statutory speedy trial grounds.
Ruling: The Appellate Division affirmed. The court noted that the transcripts or recordings at issue were not in the possession, custody or control of the prosecution. Thus, they did not qualify as items and information related to the prosecution of a charge in the possession of any state or local police enforcement agency. Therefore, they were not part of the discovery required by the statute.
James Eckert, of the public defender’s office, for the defendant-appellant; Lisa Gray, of the district attorney’s office, for the respondent.
