Answer:
You have a right to a speedy trial under the Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution, which requires that the trial be held within a certain time frame after a person has been charged with a crime.
This right can be waived by asking for additional time for the preparation of your defense. With limited exceptions, a defendant should be brought to trial in Indiana within 6 months if the defendant is detained in jail ·or within 70 days if the defendant is in jail and moves for an early trial.· The time for a speedy trial is within one year if the defendant is discharged. A felony is a crime usually punishable by imprisonment for more than one year. A misdemeanor, on the other hand, is usually punishable by a fine or a year or less of incarceration.
A demand for a speedy trial in made by a motion submitted to the court. Please see the information at the following link:
