Description
In a bench trial in the circuit court of St. Clair County, defendant, Sterling Heil, was convicted of the offense of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 56 1/2, par. 1401(b)), sentenced to three years' probation and fined $500. The appellate court reversed (49 Ill. App.3d 55), and we allowed the People's petition for leave to appeal. The indictment upon which defendant was tried was returned on February 7, 1974, and on February 28, 1974, defendant made a demand for speedy trial (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 38, par. 103-5(b)). On October 23, 1974, defendant filed, and the circuit court allowed, a petition for discharge based on statutory right for speedy trial. On the following day the People filed a motion to set aside and expunge order granting defendant's petition for discharge. On October 25, 1974, defendant's bail was discharged and the circuit clerk issued a check refunding the bail deposit to defendant's attorney. Following a hearing held on October 29, 1974, the circuit court allowed the People's motion, vacated its original order, and set the case for trial.
