How courts have described this case

• holding that the reason-for-the-delay factor “should be weighed against the State” where the 25-month delay was at- tributed “to the need for the State to collect evidence” and “for the court to provide timely trials to other cases”
• holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by weighing the prejudice factor heavily against the defendant in the speedy-trial analysis where he failed to show how a potential witness who died prior to trial would have assisted his defense
• “‘Although an accused need not demand a trial at the first available opportunity, his failure to assert his right with reasonable promptness will ordinarily weigh heavily against him.’”
