The court below found that the defendant made a timely demand for a jury trial pursuant to OCGA 17-7-170 during the January 1984, term of court and that juries were impaneled and qualified to try him at the term his demand was filed and also during the next succeeding term of court (the March term). He was not tried, but was scheduled for trial on May 21, 1984, during the May term of court.
