Is there any case law where a defendant has argued that the delay in completing his trial prejudiced his trial?

The following excerpt is from Tucker v. Wolff, 581 F.2d 235 (9th Cir. 1978):
Tucker asserts, without saying how, that the delay prejudiced his defense. Some prejudice, however, arises from incarceration for the period of the delay. Barker v. Wingo, 407 U.S. at 532, 92 S.Ct. 2182. The district court also should consider incarceration when it weighs the relevant factors on remand.
