619 N.Y.S.2d 487

The People of the State of New York, Plaintiff, v. Javier Castillo, Richard Thornton and William Alicea, Defendants.

Supreme Court, Bronx County.

October 4, 1994


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Legal Aid Society (Andrew Katz of counsel), for Javier Castillo, defendant. Ron Laskorski for Richard Thornton, defendant. Anthony Dellicarri for William Alicea, defendant. Robert T. Johnson, District Attorney of Bronx County (Lisa Chambers of counsel), for plaintiff.


IRA R. GLOBERMAN, J.

The novel question presented in this case is whether certificates of readiness served off-calendar will toll statutory speedy trial time where the People are under court direction to announce their readiness, on notice to the defense, in open court. I hold that, under such circumstances, readiness for trial is not effectively communicated and speedy trial time continues to run.
