speedy trial date...only a year + since killing ????
The defendants have a right to request continuances in order to prepare their defense. Once a defendant waives their speedy trial rights the clock slows down. If a reasonable time is not provided a defendant then that becomes an issue for appeal, so sometimes it takes awhile to get to trial.
Also it takes 6 months to a year to get back DNA results. The Department of Forensic Science is overwhelmed with evidence requests. It is taking 6 months and more just to get drug testing back. Most of our felony drug cases take a year before they are able to go to trial.
