  • where a delay of eight months was sufficiently significant to require a remand for further evidentiary findings in connection with the assertion by the appellant that a witness who could substantiate a valid defense had become unávailable as a result of the delay.
  • “Certainly, if a witness who could substantiate a valid defense, and who would have been available but for the delay, became unavailable as the result of the delay, such unavailability would be a most compelling showing of prejudice.” (emphasis added)
