How courts have described this case

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

  • holding the slightly more than four-year delay far exceeded the one-year benchmark for presumptive prejudice and thus weighed against the state
  • finding no abuse of discretion where the length of pretrial delay, at a little over four years, was weighed as a factor against the State, but not specifically weighed heavily against the State
  • factors warranting mitigation included defendant’s appearance and announcement of ready for trial when state was not prepared to try the case
  • 48-month delay, combined with lack of complexity of the case, could support a presumption of actual prejudice
  • circumstances can mitigate a defendant’s delay in asserting his right to trial
