STATON, Judge,
concurring in result
I concur in result. The “leniency” and “tolerance” of the trial court should have been restrained. The finding of contempt should not have delayed the trial of defendant Goble. He should have had court counsel appointed for him immediately and been given an early trial date. Disruptive defendants are often their own worst enemy. Their conduct denies them as well as others a speedy trial. Disruptive conduct and ridiculous procedural motions should not be allowed to deny justice to other members of the community subject to the jurisdiction of the trial court.
