COM. EX REL. GIST v. BANMILLER

Criminal procedure — Habeas corpus — Lack of speedy trial — Constitutional law — Constitution of Pennsylvania — Article I, § 9 — Petition filed after conviction.

The failure to grant a prisoner a speedy trial as required by Article I, § 9 of the Constitution of Pennsylvania is not a valid ground for the issuance of a writ of habeas corpus where the petition seeking it is not filed until after the prisoner has been tried, convicted and sentenced to prison.

OPINION PER CURIAM, January 18, 1960:

The order of the Court of Common Pleas No. 2 of Philadelphia County in this matter is affirmed on the opinion of Judge WATERS.
