Description
On February 15, 1984, Sidney Lorah, the defendant, was issued a ticket and complaint for unlawfully operating a motor vehicle with an overweight rear tractor axle. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1983, ch. 951/2, par. 15-111(g).) The defendant immediately posted bond. On March 14, 1984, on its own motion, the court continued the defendant's first appearance date to April 4, the date that the defendant orally pleaded not guilty and demanded a jury trial and that the court ordered the cause placed on the jury trial calendar. Nothing further transpired until June 4, 1985, when the defendant filed a motion to dismiss for not being speedily brought to trial. The court subsequently allowed the defendant's motion. From that ruling, the State appeals. The State argues that Supreme Court Rule 505 (87 Ill.2d R. 505) is inapplicable to the defendant. Therefore, the defendant failed to affirmatively demand a speedy trial.
