  • Multiple continuances occurred, with several continuances granted on the court's own motion.
  • A motion to suppress was filed Mar 13, 2009, and the court granted a rescission petition May 22, 2009.

Issues

Issue Plaintiff's Argument Defendant's Argument Held
Whether Hampton applies to 103-5(b) speedy-trial; duty to object. Village argues Hampton applies to 103-5(b) as a fairness rule. Bogachev argues Hampton is limited to 103-5(a). Hampton does not apply to 103-5(b); 103-5(b) has no duty to object.
Whether delays from April 3, 2009 to May 22, 2009 were chargeable to Bogachev. Village contends court-initiated delays should be charged to Bogachev. Bogachev contends the delays were not attributable to him; he did not cause them. Delays were not charged to Bogachev; record supports non-attribution.
