Trial Postponed? Next Court Date 5/26 (Violation of Probation)

HWYS 05/06/2011 POSTPONEMENT FORM FILED; HICKS (MD RULE 4-271) WAIVED

I'm by no means a legal expert but doing a little searching, it would appear Darien Small and Nancy Aram filed for a postponement of the trial and waived Hick's. What Hick's you might ask? Well so did I:

"Commonly referred to in Maryland as "Hick's Rule," a defendant's right to a speedy trial guarantees that the court set a trial date no later than 180 days after the arraignment or after the first time the defendant's attorney enters an appearance.

By waiving that rule the defendant is allowing the trial to start latter."

Based off this, it would appear Darien is going to be free for a while.

He's back in court on 5/26 for violation of his probation terms set forth in another fraud case.
