Rogers v. the State

MILLER, Presiding Judge.

Hanna Rogers appeals from the denial of her motion to dismiss charges for DUI per se, DUI less safe, reckless driving, and two traffic offenses on speedy trial grounds. Rogers contends that the trial court erred in finding that her statutory speedy trial demand was invalid under OCGA § 17-7-170. For the reasons that follow, we agree. Consequently, we reverse and remand for proceedings consistent with this opinion.

The denial of a statutory speedy trial demand presents a question of law which this Court reviews de novo. Hudson v. State, 311 Ga. App. 206 (715 SE2d 442)…
