Interstate Agreement on Detainers – General Application – Pending Charges in Sending StateInterstate Agreement on Detainers • October 7th, 2010
This case calls upon us to construe the Interstate Agreement on Detainers (“IAD”), codified at Maryland Code (1999, 2008 Repl. Vol.), §§ 8-401 to 8-417 of the Correctional Services Article.1 In particular, we are asked to determine whether the Circuit Court for Cecil County correctly interpreted the IAD to require dismissal of the criminal charges against Appellee, Caleb Micha Pair, on the ground that Appellant, the State of Maryland (“the State”), failed to comply with the 180-day speedy trial period set forth in the IAD. The State appealed the Circuit Court’s decision to the Court of Special Appeals. We issued a writ of certiorari before briefing and argument in that court. For the following reasons, we affirm the Circuit Court’s judgment of dismissal.
