BANKS, Justice, for the court:
Harrison, a capital murder indictee, was discharged by the Jackson County Circuit Court following his motion for dismissal with prejudice on the basis that the State failed to provide Harrison a timely trial in compliance with Miss. Code Ann. § 99-17-1 (Supp. 1994). We choose this occasion to revisit the question of the appropriate construction of that statute and reverse and remand this matter for further consideration.
