## Opinion text

*30 Justice CARLTON
concurring.
I concur in the result reached by the majority. However, I wish to note that I consider the majority’s extensive discussion of the question whether the Sixth Amendment’s right to speedy trial attaches at the time the arrest warrant is issued to be pure dictum.
Chief Justice BRANCH, Justices HUSKINS and MEYER join in this concurring opinion.
