who is responsible for bringing up the lack of a speedy trial?
the defendant
a defendant's rights under the speedy trial clause of the sixth amendment are triggered by "either a formal indictment or information or else the actual restraints imposed by arrest and holding to answer a criminal charge." (as noted above, any delay before this time must be scrutinized under the due process clause of the fifth amendment, not the sixth amendment's speedy trial clause. in "barker v. wingo", 407 u.s. 514 (1972), the supreme court set out a four-factor test for determining whether delay between the initiation of criminal proceedings and the beginning of trial violates a defendant's sixth amendment right to a speedy trial. the test requires the court to consider the length of the delay, the cause of the delay, the defendant's assertion of his or her right to a speedy trial, and the presence or absence of prejudice resulting from the delay.
