finding that a 20-month delay weighed “only moderately” in the defendant’s favor
finding “the total delay of 20 months exceeded a year, but not extraordinarily so, so this factor only weigh[ed] moderately in [petitioner’s] favor”
rejecting perjured testimony claim, in part, because “the evidence against [petitioner] was overwhelming”
“Actual prejudice to the defense is the most serious concern raised by a delay because it may skew the fairness of the entire system.”
