Description
To put the issue in proper factual perspective, we state the facts chronologically. The state filed its original complaint against defendant on February 6, 1990. On March 12, the metropolitan court scheduled defendant for trial on June 20. On March 16, defendant filed a notice of excusal of the metropolitan court Judge. See SCRA 1986, 7-106(A) (Repl. 1990) (effective until September 1, 1990). The court wrote "denied" on the notice because it was untimely, but on May 9 the court recused itself. The court reset the trial date, but the new metropolitan court Judge for this case had a scheduling conflict. The next trial date was August 1, five days short of six months from the time that the state filed charges against defendant. On the day of trial, defendant sought and received a continuance until September 26. The court issued another continuance and scheduled the case for trial on October 1, the last day of the six-month limit if the only time chargeable to defendant was that due to her requested continuance.
