State v. Watkins

The defendant was charged and convicted for an attempted burglary on May 16, 1971, at a Safeway store in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. The defendant appeals, asserting that he was not accorded a speedy trial; that his bail was excessive; and that there was irregularity in the appointment of counsel to defend him. We affirm the judgment and the sentence of the District Court.

This case and the case of State v. Norman, ante p. 450, 209 N. W. 2d 186, are companion cases to State v. Alvarez, Brown, Smith, Skinner, and Mai decided by this court on November 24, 1972, 189 Neb. 281, 297, 202 N. W. 2d 604,…
