State v. Sheridan, ___ N.C. App. ___, 824 S.E.2d 146 (Feb. 5, 2019)
In this child sexual assault case, the court remanded for further findings with respect to the defendant’s speedy trial motion. Although the trial court was not obligated to consider the defendant’s pro se speedy trial motion while he was represented, because it did so, it erred by failing to consider all of the Barker v. Wingo, 407 U.S. 514 (1972) factors and making appropriate findings. The court remanded for a proper Barker v. Wingo analysis and appropriate findings.
