State v. Alexander

How courts have described this case

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

• noting that absence of counsel for an extended time may mitigate the failure of the accused to assert his right more promptly
• agreeing defendant’s failure to promptly assert speedy-trial right was partially mitigated by lack of counsel
• regarding weights, a defendant “must assert [his right to a speedy trial] with reasonable promptness” and the failure to do so “ordinarily weighs heavily against the defendant,” but “the weight to be attributed to [the assertion-of-the-right] factor may be mitigated in some cases”
• “the weight to be attributed to this factor may be mitigated in some cases, and whether the circumstances of a particular case warrant any mitigation is a question committed to the sound discretion of the trial court”
