1Opinion of the Court
COLEMAN, Judge.
On April 19, 1994, Timothy Mitchell was indicted for grand larceny of a tractor. Four years later, on April 10, 1998, Mitchell was convicted. On appeal, Mitchell contends the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress an incriminating statement allegedly obtained in violation of his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. Mitchell also contends he was denied his statutory right to a speedy trial. Finding no error, we affirm.
