May 1st 2013 when do you suppose to be brought to trial or you shall be acquitted and discharged
A:
A defendant's constitutional right to speedy trial can be determined only on an ad hoc basis in which the conduct of the prosecution and the defendant are weighed and balanced; among factors which courts should assess in determining whether a particular defendant has been deprived of his rights are length of delay, the reason for the delay, the defendant's assertion of his right, and prejudice to the defendant.
