Hunt, Justice,
concurring specially.
I respectfully disagree with Division 2 of the opinion which renders null the trial court’s granting of the out-of-time demand for speedy trial. Surely, under the frustrating circumstances of the delay in this case, the trial judge properly placed the defendant’s oral demand on the record and granted it as though it were written. Because, however, as pointed out in footnote 4, the defendants have not demonstrated full compliance with the statute, the judgment can be affirmed.
I am authorized to state that Justice Weltner and Justice Ben-ham join in this special concurrence.
