A: Yes, individuals who are out on bail can request a speedy trial. The right to a speedy trial is a constitutional right, and it applies to individuals who have been accused of a crime. If you are out on bail and wish to expedite the trial process, you can discuss this with your attorney. They can file a motion for a speedy trial on your behalf, arguing that a delay in the proceedings would prejudice your defense. Keep in mind that the specific procedures for requesting a speedy trial may vary by jurisdiction, so your attorney will guide you through the appropriate legal steps
