Description
MOREMEN, Judge. Alvin Sidney Hoskins, a prisoner now confined under a life sentence in the Kentucky State Penitentiary at Eddyville, has filed an original action in this Court in which he asks that a writ of mandamus be issued to Hon. Coleman Wright, Judge of the 12th Judicial District of the circuit courts of this state, directing him to grant movant Hoskins a speedy trial in connection with felony indictments now pending against him in the Shelby Circuit Court and in the Oldham Circuit Court. He alleges that he did, on the 6th day of January 1962, file motion in both courts for a speedy trial and that no action has been taken on those motions since that date. The response to the petition for mandamus states that Hoskins stands indicted in both counties for a felony and admits that he had written from the Eddyville Penitentiary on about the 6th day of January 1962 asking for a trial. It is further stated that since the time of the request the charges have been called for trial, but the Commonwealth announced ""not ready"" and thereupon on motion of the Commonwealth the prosecutions were continued. The respondent prays judgment of the Court on the question raised on this proceeding.
