Description
Appellant was charged by affidavit in the Delaware Circuit Court with the crime of armed robbery and robbery. Trial by jury
resulted in a verdict of guilty as charged and appellant was sentenced to the Indiana Reformatory for a determinate period
of ten [10] years. The sole question before the court is the trial court's alleged error in denying appellant's motion for discharge, he having
been detained in jail in excess of six months prior to trial. The facts upon which said error is bottomed may be briefly summarized
as follows. Appellant was arrested on the robbery charge, filed August 7, 1969, on August 8; the charging affidavit was amended
on August 28, 1969, to include the charge of armed robbery. On September 2, 1969, arraignment was conducted and appellant
entered a plea of not guilty. Appellant's co-defendant was arrainged on September 24, 1969, and it was at this time that trial
was set for March 2, 1970. When the trial Judge announced the trial date, he noted for the record the fact that the trial
date set was at odds with Rule CR. 4(A), it being in excess of six months from the date the appellant was arrested, but indicated
that the delay was necessary due to his busy trial schedule. No further action was taken in the case until the day of trial,
March 2, 1970, such date being approximately six (6) days short of seven (7) months from the date of appellant's arrest.
