1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
Abbott, J.:
This is an appeal by the State of Kansas from an order dismissing the criminal complaint charging Robbie Fitch with burglary and felony theft. The trial court dismissed the complaint on the grounds that Fitch was denied his constitutional right to a speedy trial.
The State contends the dismissal was premature, was not supported by the facts, and was an abuse of discretion by the trial court.
