Supreme Court of Illinois

In the matter of a charge of deceptive practices filed while defendant was already serving two years for a perjury conviction, dismissal of the charge based on failure to bring the matter to trial within 160 days after a speedy trial demand is affirmed where defendant was not required to file a new speedy-trial demand when her status changed after her release from prison, and the original demand which she had filed remained in effect.
