You don't need to file the petition as the previous answers were correct. The time frame is based on the caseload. Leave the job to the professionals and let your friends attorney handle the situation. Not a job for a novice/journeyman.

speedy is a relative term. It's still less than a year - totally allowable. You may want to check on why and who filed the continuances - if it was the defense attorney asking for continuances you would be barking up the wrong tree.

Your friend or his attorney has probably signed speedy trial waivers which will allow his case to continue for months. It's up to him and his attorney to file the necessary paperwork. A third party can't do that on his behalf.

In maximum jurisdictions I even have ever dealt with or heard of the case will finally be brushed off. each and every each and every now and then on the 1st occasion, each and every each and every now and then on the 2d or 0.33. this is going to additionally rely if the cop is needed on account that in lots of situations they have no real data to present different then data they have accrued from different materials (witnesses) and those different materials are those required to testify. so some distance as disciplinary action, the dept could take it based upon why the officer did not teach. He/she could have been heading in the right direction, could have been on some style of specific accountability, could have been off on ill leave.... in the event that they have been subpoenaed although the courtroom could take action to boot. It rather honestly relies upon.

You can file any motion you want, the courts are going to move at their own pace, according to caseload.
