    In the second place, appellant has not shown that these documents would have been produced under the Freedom of Information Act. And finally, we do not intend to establish a new obstacle to speedy trial (see State v. Lively, 155 Ga. App. 402 ( 270 S.E.2d 812) or a new constitutional mandate of discovery, by permitting reliance on Freedom of Information requests to postpone trials.
