1. ““ ‘On a motion for discharge, the defendant bears the burden of proving that he was not responsible for the delays prior to trial. (People v. Grant (1982), 104 Ill. App. 3d 183 , 432 N.E.2d 1129 .) A delay is considered to have been occasioned by the defendant if his acts have caused or contributed to the delay or where he has expressly agreed to a continuance on the record. (People v. DeCarlis (1980), 88 Ill. App. 3d 634 , 410 N.E.2d 677 .) When a defendant files a pretrial motion, he is responsible for the time naturally associated with processing the motion. (DeCarlis, 88 Ill. App. 3d at 637 , 410 N.E.2d at 680 .) The trial court’s decision as to the accountability for delay will be sustained on appeal absent a clear showing of abuse of discretion. People v. Sonntag (1984), 128 Ill. App. 3d 548 , 470 N.E.2d 631 .’ ( 188 Ill. App. 3d at 371 , 544 N.E.2d at 440 .)” (Emphasis added.) (Jones, 215 Ill. App. 3d at 657 , 575 N.E.2d at 564 .)”
