15    defendant. Where defendant occasions the delay, the
16    running of the 10 day period is temporarily suspended and
17    resumes at the termination of the period of delay. Where
18    defendant occasions the delay with 5 or fewer days
19    remaining in the 10 day period, the court may grant a
20    period of up to 5 additional days to the State for good
21    cause shown. The State, however, shall retain the right to

12    of the court nor any transcript or other record of the
13    hearing shall be admissible in the State's case in chief,
14    but shall be admissible for impeachment, or as provided in
15    Section 115-10.1 of this Code or in a perjury proceeding.
