speedy trial demand tolled

[leebenseng]

I found a definition of the word "toll" in Merrian Webster as "to give an announcement of", I wonder if "speedy trial demand tolled" means "speedy trial demand was announced"?

The "speedy trial demand tolled" was listed in a court schedule for a case.

Thank you for your help in advance.

No. It’s definition 3 under the Random House section in the WR dictionary:

to suspend or interrupt (as a statute of limitations).

Does it mean then, the run of the statute of limitation for a "speedy trial demand" has been made to stop?

Thank you.
