State v. Goins, 232 N.C. App. 451 (Feb. 18, 2014)
No speedy trial violation occurred when there was a 27-month delay between the indictments and trial. Among other things, the defendant offered no evidence that the State’s neglect or willfulness caused a delay and failed to show actual, substantial prejudice caused by the delay.
