Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dallas County, David Faith, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral arguments by Schumacher, P.J., and Buller and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, P.J. (6 pages)
Michael Page appeals his conviction for willful injury causing serious injury, arguing the district court erred in denying his motion to dismiss. Page contends the State violated his right to speedy trial by pursuing willful injury charges after an earlier criminal proceeding against him for attempted murder was dismissed. OPINION HOLDS: Because the district court did not err in concluding willful injury causing serious injury is a different offense than attempted murder for speedy trial purposes, we affirm.
