The opinion

Herbert, J.,

concurs in the judgment. I do not believe it is necessary to rely upon so-called speedy trial statutes in order to protect appellant’s constitutional rights. The length of the continuance and the circumstances surrounding it provide sufficient grounds for this order of reversal. State v. Pugh (1978), 53 Ohio St. 2d 153, 155 .
