FAQ
(a) If the defendant enters a plea other than guilty, a trial date must be set. (b) A defendant must be tried as soon as possible after entry of a plea other than guilty. On demand of any party after entry of such plea, the trial must start within 60 days unless the court finds good cause for a later trial date.
Instead, they simply ask a court to consider their constitutional right to a speedy trial. The court will then determine whether any delay was unreasonable. The U.S. Supreme Court has laid out factors to consider when deciding whether the time to trial was speedy enough.
One exception to the defendant's right to a speedy trial occurs when the suspect requests delays, thereby waiving that right. Additionally, unforeseen circumstances, such as natural disasters affecting court proceedings, can also contribute to delays.
The Risks of a Speedy Trial in California In many cases, the defense needs additional time to prepare their case so that the defendant has the best defense possible. Reasons a defendant may want their trial delayed are: To have time to find witnesses. To have time to gather evidence.
(an appellate court weighs the following four factors to determine if there is a Sixth Amendment speedy trial violation: (1) the length of the delay; (2) the reasons for the delay; (3) the accused's demand for a speedy trial; and (4) the prejudice to the accused).
The Court in Serna held that an unjustified delay can be a violation of a defendant's Constitutional speedy trial rights and can provide grounds for dismissal.
Note that there are exceptions that allow a trial to take place after the time periods set forth in this statute. For example, a trial may get lawfully postponed if: you consent to or request a later date, or. there is a “showing of good cause.”
The most common reason for waiving speedy trial is to give the defense more time to prepare their case. If a defendant is facing serious time if convicted, taking the time to let your attorney be prepared as possible can very well be worth a couple of more months in jail.
In two companion cases, United States v. Wade and Gilbert v. California , the U.S. Supreme Court rules that the Sixth Amendment prohibits the prosecution from introducing evidence that a defendant was identified in a lineup unless the defendant's attorney was present.
