You have to know and demand your rights, as does your attorney (most don't).
Have him file a motion to dismiss based on the speedy trial rule...
That usually works.

I am not sure what county you are in, obviously not the US, since often trials can take well over a year to get to trial,
For example crime labs can take up to 6 months just to get evidence back.
If a person wishes to try and file for a speedy trial, they have that right to make a motion, but the court is free to set a court date back if it is needed due to witnesses, and other factors.

Nope. The supreme court has stopped short of making a bright line rule indicating how speedy a speedy trial should be per the 6th amendment.

Doesn't work like that. As long as they have pressed charges, you have to answer to it. The speedy trial idea was good until the criminals started stalling out the system with paper filings.

Ummmm Nope dont work that way. Bond out or actually pay for an attorney and get him to work on getting you in front of a Judge. Good Luck though.
