Description
Defendant James Lomax was arrested on March 23, 1977 and charged with having stolen certain tangible personal property at knifepoint. He was arraigned within 24 hours of the arrest, and on March 28, 1977, a Grand Jury handed up an indictment charging him with several counts of robbery in the first degree, grand larceny in the third degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree. On March 29, defendant was arraigned on the indictment. Some nine and a half months later, on January 3, 1978, defendants motion to dismiss the indictment on the ground that he had been deprived of his right to a speedy trial (CPL 30.20, 30.30) was summarily denied without an evidentiary hearing. His subsequent trial terminated inconclusively when the jury reported itself unable to agree upon a verdict and a mistrial was declared. Shortly thereafter, defendant pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of attempted robbery in the third degree.
