Description
CROCKETT, Chief Justice: Louis Walton Bonny, Jr., seeks to reverse his conviction of escape from the Utah State Prison. He had been committed in 1967 for second-degree burglary. On November 4, 1969, on the basis of facts not material to this appeal, he was charged with the crime of escape by a complaint filed in the City Court of Salt Lake City. Two days later, on November 6, 1969, his counsel filed on his behalf a request for final Disposition of the escape charge pursuant to Sec. 77-65-1, U.C.A. 1953, which provides that any charge pending against a prisoner shall be disposed of within 90 days after the filing of such a demand. After appropriate proceedings in which the defendant was bound over to the district court, defendant and his counsel, Mr. John D. O'Connell, appeared for arraignment in the district court on January 26, 1970. The court indicated a trial date of January 28, which would have been within the 90-day period. However, for reasons set out below, the trial was actually set for February 9, 1970, five days beyond the 90 days prescribed by the statute. At the beginning of the trial defense counsel moved to dismiss on that ground. The motion was denied, and the defendant was found guilty.
