STATE v. JONES

No. 34768-3-I.

901 P.2d 1057 (1995)

79 Wash.App. 7

The STATE of Washington, Respondent, v. Carl L. JONES, Appellant.

Court of Appeals of Washington, Division 1.

July 31, 1995.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mark D. Mestel, Mestel & Muenster, Everett, for appellant.

James Krider, Snohomish County Pros. Atty., Everett, for respondent.


PER CURIAM.

Carl Jones argues his right to a speedy trial was violated and that the trial court erred by denying his motion to dismiss the criminal charge against him. We find that the State failed to exercise due diligence in bringing Jones before the court and therefore the Striker rule applies, requiring that a constructive arraignment be set. Because he was not tried within 90 days of the constructive arraignment, the charge should be dismissed.
