Palacios v. State

Appellant Martha Palacios was charged by indictment with six counts of injury to a child. A jury found her guilty of counts I, III, and IV and assessed punishment at 10 years imprisonment, and a fine of $10,000, probated to 10 years of community supervision. In her sole issue, Appellant challenges the trial courts denial of her motion to dismiss the prosecution for lack of speedy trial. Though troubled by the process, we ultimately find no violation of Appellants right to a speedy trial and we must affirm.
