FAQ
Here's a quick breakdown: If you're in custody (being held in jail), the State must bring you to trial within 150 days of your initial court appearance. If you're out of custody (released on bond or your own recognizance), the State has 180 days to bring you to trial.
'Demand for Speedy Trial' Once filed, the defendant must be brought to trial within 50 days after the demand, although trial may commence in fewer than 50 days. A written Demand for Speedy Trial can drastically shorten the 90 and 175 day deadlines applicable in a conventional misdemeanor or felony case.
A case could be resolved in one day of court or take several months or even years to reach a verdict. ing to studies conducted by the National Center for State Courts, it takes an average of 256 days for a felony case and 193 days for a misdemeanor case to be resolved in the United States.
It is impossible to say with 100% certainty how long a criminal trial will last. It could take one day for the jury to reach a verdict, several months, or even multiple years. On average, 83% of felony cases are resolved within 365 days and 77% of misdemeanor cases are resolved within 180 days.
Speedy Trial – Arizona's Rule 8 A court must try every defendant within the following times after their arraignment: 150 Days – For defendants in custody. 180 Days – For defendants out of custody (except in complex cases, below).
Standard misdemeanors carry up to six months in and/or up to $1,000 in fines. Gross or aggravated misdemeanors carry up to 364 days in jail and/or up to $1,000. Most defendants facing misdemeanor charges are eligible for probation.
This is often the case in federal courts where a trial date is set at the beginning of the case and generally honored. In federal court it is pretty routine to have a case set for trial within 12-18 months of filing. In state courts, however, the amount of time it takes to get to trial can vary widely county to county.
So, on average, give or take, four to six months for a misdemeanor. A felony case, depending on how serious of a felony and someone's criminal history, is going to dictate how long the case is going to take to resolve. For a case, easily one to two years. If it's a capitol case, longer.
At its core, Rule 8 of the Arizona Rules of Criminal Procedure is designed to protect your constitutional right to a speedy trial. This isn't just some technicality—it's your shield against being stuck in legal limbo while the State drags its feet.
Arizona's Rule 11 of the Arizona Rules of Criminal Procedure is in place for defendants with mental disabilities, handicaps, or other similar psychological or neurological conditions that prevent a standard court of law from having due process from being tried or punished.
