How courts have described this case

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

• finding that the analysis of the first three Barker factors in that case provided no showing of misconduct on the part of the state sufficient to warrant a presumption of prejudice
• “Thus, an affirmative showing of actual prejudice is not essential to a speedy trial claim when the defendant is able to show that the other three factors weigh heavily against the State.”
• implied promise to discharge only for cause may arise when an employee, in reliance on an implied representation that his employment will not be arbitrarily terminated, acts in reasonable and significant reliance on the representation
• when defendant was forced to spend twenty-three out of every twenty-four hours confined in his cell, was ineligible for work assignment and was so stressed by jail conditions that he sought medical attention, constitutional right to speedy trial was not violated
