Speedy trial grounds for dismissal?
Asked in Sacramento, CA - 12 months
have been incarcerated on a previous conviction for violation of my parole which has resulted from my current pending charges, i have been in the prison system now for two years, urging the state to resolve the pending charges against me, i was told two years ago when i was arrested by my lawyer that i could not file any demands for a resolution of the charges until i was indicted, i just found out this is wrong and that my constitutional rights were in fact violated by the state waiting two years to finally now indict me on these charges, what options do i have as far as getting these charges dismissed on the fact that the state waited two years on these charges and i have obviously been prejudicedn by my two year incarceration.
