P. v. Rodriguez
The People appeal from an order of the trial court dismissing a criminal complaint for violation of defendant German Valtierra Rodriguez’s right to a speedy trial. When the trial court dismisses a case based on a violation of defendant’s right to a speedy trial, we review for an abuse of discretion. (Serna v. Superior Court (1985) 40 Cal.3d 239, 251.)
The People assert that the trial court erred in finding actual prejudice and the court abused its discretion in dismissing the complaint. We conclude defendant demonstrated actual prejudice and the trial court did not abuse its discretion. We affirm the judgment.
