People v Johnson

Holding The court affirmed the denial of the defendant’s motion to dismiss on speedy trial grounds, determining that a 15-day delay was excludable because it pertained solely to a codefendant’s suppression motion. The People’s readiness for trial in the defendant’s case was not affected by the delay in the codefendant’s proceedings.

The court’s words

the court properly determined that those 15 days could not be charged to the People inasmuch as that delay did not pertain to defendant's case
