When the case was called, Alexander announced he was ready for trial, but the State requested a continuance. Alexander objected and moved to have the case dismissed for lack of a speedy trial. Rather than have the Court potentially dismiss the case, the State moved to dismiss it on May 15, 2023. Alexander was immediately freed. He was defended by Toby Welch.
