MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Vassell, 970 F.2d 1162 (2nd Cir. 1992):
Four factors determine whether a pre-trial delay violates the Sixth Amendment: (1) the length of the delay; (2) the reason for the delay; (3) the defendant's assertion of his right to a speedy trial; and (4) the extent of prejudice to the defendant. Barker v. Wingo, 407 U.S. 514, 530-32, 92 S.Ct. 2182, 2192-93, 33 L.Ed.2d 101 (1971).
