B.2(u). Right to a Speedy Trial

The accused and the public both have the Right to a speedy trial. If there are delays, they must help the accused unless the court finds that the accused acted in bad faith. A trial is considered speedy if it starts within twenty-four (24) months of arraignment. In complicated cases, more time may be given, but only if counsel explains to the judge, with clear proof, why it’s needed. Discovery and pre-trial should never take more than three (3) years for any reason.
