The Georgia Court of Appeals has reversed a trial court’s order denying a drunk-driving defendant’s motion to dismiss on speedy trial grounds, ruling that the demand—tucked into an unstapled stack of more than 30 pages of filings—was sufficient to meet Georgia’s requirements for a speedy trial demand.
The attorney who filed the motion, Atlanta solo D. Benjamin Sessions, confirmed that he had intentionally instructed his secretary who filed the documents not to staple or paper-clip them together prior to doing so.
