1. “However, McClendon failed to file a motion to quash seeking to challenge the untimely commencement of trial or to assert a violation of his constitutional right to a speedy trial. A motion to quash is the proper procedural vehicle for raising untimely prosecution. A defendant may also raise a claim for the denial of his constitutional right to a speedy trial by a motion to quash. Further, McClendon did not file a motion for speedy trial. Because he did not raise these claims before the trial court, McClendon failed to preserve for appeal any alleged violation of his right to speedy trial or claim of untimely prosecution. Accordingly, we find no merit in this assignment.”
