• stating that defendant bears heavy burden to establish actual non-speculative prejudice by definite proof
• no actual prejudice demonstrated by lost police tapes, because evidence was unlikely to be exculpatory to the charged offense
• \only two cases since 1975 in which any circuit has upheld a due process claim\
• no actual prejudice suffered despite seven and a half month delay when defendant claimed loss of witness testimony and evidence
