How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that incarceration for a “reasonable period of time” due to incompetency would negate speedy-trial claims, but noting that in some circumstances, an incompetent defendant could be “held more than the reasonable period of time” (quotations omitted)
• stating defendant hospitalized for three years 26 but reevaluated twice by court during that period
• finding four-year delay to be “presumptively prejudicial” even where reason for delay was defendant’s incompetence
• notwithstanding prisoner allegations of violation of state’s speedy trial statute, federal court may consider only violation of federal constitutional right to speedy trial
• “The incarceration for a reasonable period of time because of established incompetency to stand trial would thus appear to be a sufficient answer to any speedy trial claim.”
