The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Loud Hawk, 741 F.2d 1184 (9th Cir. 1984):
Balancing the four Barker v. Wingo factors to determine whether there has been a violation of the sixth amendment is far from an exact science. None of the factors is "either a necessary or sufficient condition to the finding of a deprivation of the right." Barker v. Wingo, 407 U.S. at 533, 92 S.Ct. at 2193. After weighing all four factors, however, we conclude that defendants' speedy trial right has been violated.
