1. “Review of a speedy trial claim involves a question of fact: whether the trial delay arose from good cause. We will uphold the trial court’s finding of good cause if that decision is supported by substantial, credible evidence. However, if no probative evidence supports the trial court’s findings, we must reverse the decision and dismiss the charge. The State bears the burden of proving good cause for the speedy trial delay, and thus bears the risk of non-persuasion. Good cause is a factual finding which is not different from any other finding of fact, and thus [,] an appellate court should not disturb the finding when it is based upon substantial evidence identified from the record.”
