HAROLD R. BANKE, Senior Appellate Judge.
George Schaefer appeals the denial of his motion for discharge and acquittal. He asserts that the trial court erred in denying his motion because he filed a speedy trial demand and was not tried within the time required by OCGA § 17-7-170.
Schaefer was arrested for trafficking in cocaine on August 25, 1997. Attorney Greenwald was appointed to represent him the next day. Schaefer was indicted on December 18.
