Dean v. State

DONALD L. Corbin, Justthe of

Appellant Howard Dean appeals the judgment of the Perry County Circuit Court convicting him of first-degree murder and sentencing him to forty years’ imprisonment. For his sole point for reversal, Appellant argues that he was denied a speedy trial, in violation of Ark. R. Crim. P. 28. Appellant previously raised this issue in a petition for writ of prohibition, and this court denied the writ. See Dean v. Plegge, 331 Ark. 141, 958 S.W.2d 5 (1998). Our jurisdiction of this appeal is thus pursuant to Ark. Sup. Ct. R. l-2(a)(7). We find no error and affirm.
