1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Maroone v. State“The evil intended to be curbed by the statute with reference to an assault with a deadly weapon in resisting arrest is different from that involved in assault with intent to kill and murder. Undoubtedly the legislature intended to make it a felony to use a deadly weapon capable of assisting the accused in resisting lawful arrest, or in provoking the officer to shoot the accused. An empty gun can be as effective in resisting arrest or in causing the sheriff to shoot the arrestee as a loaded gun. No specific intent is involved in the crime of using a deadly weapon in resisting arrest. ... 295 So.2d at 745 . (Emphasis added.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Maroone v. State“The reason for the delay was that a grand jury was not called for the May term. The record is absent of any showing that defendant was prejudiced. Therefore, the Court holds that the defendant was not entitled to be discharged on the asserted ground that he did not receive a speedy trial.”)). In Bailey , the Court held that unintentional delays — in that case, the grand jury not being convened, negligence in serving a warrant, and a crowded docket— must be considered”
