District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided April 19, 1977.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Winthrop N. Brown, Washington, D.C., appointed by the court, for appellant.

C. Madison Brewer, Asst. U.S. Atty., Washington, D.C., with whom Earl J. Silbert, U.S. Atty., John A. Terry, Albert H. Turkus, and Robert E. Hauberg, Jr., Asst. U.S. Attys., Washington, D.C., were on the brief, for appellee.

Before NEWMAN, Chief Judge, and KELLY and KERN, Associate Judges.

KELLY, Associate Judge:

Appellant Branch seeks reversal of his conviction of second-degree burglary on the ground that a sixteen-month delay between arrest and trial violated his constitutional right to a speedy trial. We conclude that this claim of error has merit, and we reverse.

Appellant and one Samuel Bynum were arrested on a warrant on August 2, 1974, and were indicted for second-degree burglary and grand larceny on December 20.1
