Description

DAUGHTREY, Judge. OPINION Because of a delay of over two years between the date of Mack Wallace's indictment in this case
and the date he was brought to trial, a delay which was caused by the fact that he was "lost" in the Tennessee correctional
system, the judgment of conviction against Wallace must be reversed and the case dismissed for denial of his right to a speedy
trial under the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution and under Article I, Section 9 of the Tennessee Constitution. The defendant was indicted by the Humphreys County Grand Jury on August 1, 1977, for an offense alleged to have occurred
on April 8 of that year. In September 1977, Wallace was sent to the state penitentiary to serve a sentence imposed for an
unrelated conviction in Giles County, Tennessee. Within a month after arriving at the prison, he wrote his court-appointed
attorney, requesting a trial on the Humphreys County charge as soon as possible. He never received a response from his lawyer,
a fact which the attorney now concedes. Wallace testified that he did not pursue the matter further, because he assumed from
his lawyer's failure to communicate with him that the charges had been dropped.
