2. “In evaluating Rule [600] issues, our standard of review of a trial court’s decision is whether the trial court abused its discretion. The proper scope of review in determining the propriety of the trial court’s ruling is limited to the evidence on the record of the Rule [600] eviden-tiary hearing and the findings of the lower court.
