Jason Christopher Durkee v. State

KAUTZ, Justice.

[¶1] Jason Christopher Durkee was convicted after a jury trial of driving while under the influence of methamphetamine and aggravated vehicular homicide based upon recklessness. He claims his constitutional right to a speedy trial was violated because 687 days passed between the initial charges and his trial. Applying the test from Barker v.
