Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Mark Fowler, Henry W. Latham II, and Meghan Corbin, Judges. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., Greer, J., and Doyle, S.J. Opinion by Doyle, S.J. (5 pages)
JazMond Turner appeals his convictions on two counts of third-degree sexual abuse, claiming his right to a speedy trial was violated. OPINION HOLDS: Although the record before us on appeal is incomplete, it is sufficient to show good cause existed to extend trial beyond the speedy-trial deadline when the court granted the State’s request for a continuance. But because the trial court never ruled on Turner’s claim that the length of the delay between the deadline and trial violated his right to a speedy trial, that error is not preserved for our review.
