Summary: written with AI from the case record.
What it's about
Hill asked the Supreme Court to review whether Wisconsin could treat the Interstate Agreement on Detainers’ 180-day trial deadline as waived after a denied adjournment request and no objection to a later preliminary-hearing date, even though he and his lawyer did not agree to delay trial. The Court refused to hear the case (denied review), so it did not decide that question.
The Interstate Agreement on Detainers includes a 180-day trial requirement.
Question presented
Whether Article 111(a) of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers permits waiver of its 180-day trial requirement based on a denied request for adjournment and failure to object to a post-deadline preliminary-hearing date, where neither the defendant nor counsel agreed to delay trial beyond the statutory period?
