1. “"We notice that the time for filing motions to suppress under Rule 3.190(h)(4), F.R.Cr.P., is as follows: "`(4) Time for Filing. The motion to suppress shall be made before trial unless opportunity therefor did not exist or the defendant was not aware of the grounds for the motion, but the court may entertain the motion or an appropriate objection at the trial.' "In the manner of common sense and trial experience, it will be rare indeed for an accused in the normal sequence of things to file a motion to suppress more than sixty days prior to trial. And yet under the trial court decision this would be required of those who seek to obtain a speedy trial. Repeating, we are convinced that the mere filing of a motion to suppress is not tantamount to a finding of law that the speedy trial demander does not have a bona fide desire to obtain trial, that he is not prepared and will not be prepared for trial."”
