If the trial of a defendant is delayed more than one hundred eighty (180) days after
the arraignment of the defendant, unless the delay is occasioned by the action or
request of the defendant, the court shall dismiss the case and the defendant shall
not thereafter be tried for the same offense; except that if, on the day of a trial
set within the last ten (10) days of the above time limit, a necessity for a continuance
arises which the court, in the exercise of sound judicial discretion, determines would
warrant an additional delay, then one (1) continuance, not exceeding thirty (30) days,
may be allowed, after which the dismissal shall be entered as above provided if the
trial is not held within the additional time allowed.
