State Ex Rel. Forsyth v. District Court of the Eleventh Judicial District

Jerry Paul Forsyth (Forsyth) was charged with deliberate homicide in Flathead County District Court for allegedly killing his wife, Karen Forsyth, on December 11, 1979. Forsyth has filed a petition for a writ of supervisory control claiming jury tampering and prosecutorial misconduct in a previous trial which is claimed to warrant dismissal of the proceeding, denial of speedy trial and error of the District Court in ordering a change in the place of trial. We decline jurisdiction of the petition for supervisory control.

The issues raised in the petition are:

1. Was Forsyth denied a speedy trial?
