1. “The State asks us to interpret this rule so that where, on a juvenile defendant’s motion, a circuit court transfers a felony charge over to juvenile court, the entire time during which the case is pending before the circuit court be declared an excludable period under Rule 28.3(a)_ [W]e must reject the State’s argument. Under Rule 28.3(a) delays caused by hearings on pretrial motions filed by the defendant are specified as excluda-ble periods. Rule 28.3(a) limits the excludable period caused by a pretrial motion taken under advisement not to exceed thirty days. As mentioned above, McCann’s motion to transfer was not made until the date of trial on April 13, 1992, the circuit court heard his motion and granted it on that same date. A memorandum in the record indicates acceptance of the transfer by the juvenile court on April 14. Applying Rule 28.3(a) to these facts, the only time that is remotely attrituable to McCann and, thus excludable, is the one day between submission of McCann’s motion to transfer in one court and acceptance by the receiving court.”
