Opinion
Affirmed upon the rule that “A defendant’s constitutional rights have been denied if he is not brought to trial within such period of time as is reasonable under the circumstances and the delay is due to neglect or laches of the prosecution or of public officers.”1 Therefore, even though defendant has waived speedy trial, he must be tried in a reasonable time after he has announced that he is ready for trial.
