JUDICIAL DECISIONS Speedy trial provisions. - As O.C.G.A. § 15-7-43(b), enacted in 1983, incorporates the speedy trial provisions of O.C.G.A. § 17-7-170 by reference, those provisions supersede a 1981 local law provision entitling a defendant in a state court to discharge and acquittal if no trial is had at the term when the demand is made or within the next two succeeding
regular terms thereafter. Majia v. State, 174 Ga. App. 432, 330 S.E.2d 171, aff ’d, 254 Ga. 660, 333 S.E.2d 834 (1985); Parks v. State, 239 Ga. App. 333, 521 S.E.2d 370 (1999). Cited in Holland v.
