The Sixth Amendment guarantees your right to a speedy and public trial. But how often does the government delay that right?

🔴 Armed Attorneys Emily Taylor & Richard Hayes break down the challenges behind the government’s failure to uphold the speedy trial rule and how the courts handle violations of this constitutional right.

The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to a trial without unnecessary delays.

Barker v. Wingo established a balancing test considering delay length, reason, defendant’s assertion, and the prejudice caused.

Texas’ limitations: You must assert this right at the trial level or risk losing the ability to appeal.

📝 Real-World Impact: A Harris County man has waited 18 years for trial. What does this case reveal about the right to a speedy trial and the criminal justice system’s failure to comply?
