Why does the 6th amend., say speedy trial?
112411
The sixth amendment says speedy trial meaning that a prisoner shouldn't languish in jail for years without a trial. This provision is believed to date back to the Magna Carta. Taking days before a trial is started would be considered speedy in most places given the difficulty of organising legal representation etc. Indeed, too speedy a trial would actually disadvantage a defendant as he or she would not have time to organise a defence. \n\nIn Barker v. Wingo in 1972, the US Supreme Court made a determination of a speedy trial although not specifying a time limit instead deciding on a case by case basis. A complex case involving multiple witnesses would take longer to prepare. A prosecution may not unduly delay a trial for its own advantage but may do so to obtain access to a witness for example. The court made further rulings in United States v Becker in 1996.

Whos birthdate? I dont think it matters but I would have the court change their records to modify it. Those type of error's are pretty common and I have never seen a court throw one out because of it. The police get a copy of the order also.

It is possible that if the DA's office is cooperating with you, the court might grant a coram nobis petition.  I've never seen or heard of it in traffic, but it may happen.\n\nHowever, as you only have this one, last shot in a tricky area of law, be smart, spend the $400 and have an attorney do it, so it gets done right.\n\nThe reason you have to do the petition is that you did not do the "speeding ticket" in question right.  Had you done so, you wouldn't be in the fix you are now.

what has to happen is that for some reason your trial is postphoned for different reasons that have nothing to do with you or your lawyer,for example, sickness,gathering evidence or witnesses, lack of a courtroom,or judge ,this is what your lawyer must file and it usually gets filed after the third postphonement that you are ready for trial.also it has to due with due process meaning that from the time you were offically charged with a crime the state has 180 days/6months to bring you to trial for your crime

It varies by jurisdiction, each state has its own set of rules.  It also varies if the defendant is in jail or is out on bail.  \nGenerally, if the defendant is in jail, trial is usually set within three or four weeks (again some states have shorter time limits and some have longer).  If the defendant is out on bail, trial is usually set from a month to two months out.\nHOWEVER, the defendant can waive the right to a speedy trial.  Defendants will do this for any number of reasons, the most common being: Their attorney needs time to file motions to suppress evidence, their attorney needs time to prepare (or just does not have any free space on his or her calendar for a month or two, or three), waiting may result in witnesses not being as anxious to show up in court, etc.\nIn some jurisdictions, the DA can request that the court move the trial past the speedy trial deadline.  DA may request this if the investigation is still going on and other defendants may be indicted.  In some instances, the Courts have been so backlogged that cased just couldn't get tried in time.\nIn general, in the celebrated cases, the Defendant has wanted the trial postponed, not the DA.

Please don't be offended, and perhaps it's just the way you write, but you clearly don't have the facts of this situation correctly.  What you are claiming happened here is (assuming I can understand it), really very difficult to believe.  \n\nLet's do this:\n\nIf your friend, who was convicted of whatever it was, was represented by an attorney in any court in this country, I would strongly suspect his 6th amendment rights were not violated and if they were, his attorney would almost certainly be filing an appeal as we speak.\n\nOtherwise, you probably need someone to help you with your question because it's nearly impossible to understand.

I doubt it! Unless you amend the original petition, which you need to do at least 10 days before court, sending a notice to the person if he has no lawyer, or to his lawyer!

need more of the question.\n\nIf you want a speedy trial it is your right.  However you must ask for a speedy trial. When you do so this will place a timeline on your charges to be brought to court or dismissed,.  In  Georgia its 6 months.\n\nIf you don't ask your charges could be over 3 years in backlog.

Pour l'instant c'est toujours Landis car il a pris un avocat qui mène une action judiciaire en appel aux states car il conteste s'être dopé.  Le tribunal devrait se prononcer en janvier et les autorités du cyclisme, par respect pour la justice ont décidé de patienter jusque là avant de prononcer son déclassement.

The case is actually A03-1898 in the Minnesota Supreme Court, not the 8th circuit (which is a federal court). The full opinion is at the site below. In it, they argue that whether or not a defendant is a repeat offender for the purposes of enhancing a sentence is a finding of fact, and thus must be determined by a jury, not a judge.

Are you asking when a person is entitled to counsel under the 6th Amendment?\n\nIf so, "Right to counsel granted by the United States Constitution means at least that a person is entitled to help of lawyer at or after the time that judicial  proceedings have been initiated against him whether by way of formal  charge, preliminary  hearing, indictment, information, or arraignment."

One aspect of the Sixth Amendment.\n\nThe Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to a speedy trial. Every defendant in a criminal case has a constitutional right to have the charges against him or her decided quickly so that he or she can move on with life. The Sixth Amendment also guarantees the right to a public trial and a jury trial. The right to confront witnesses, a compulsory process for obtaining witnesses, and the right to assistance of counsel are also protected by this amendment.

Technically, it isn't in the U.S. Constitution.  The Miranda Warning came about after Miranda vs. Arizona in 1960(?).  But it refers to the fifth amendment right that protects against self-incrimination, or "the right to remain silent".

It means that there would be no further hearings or court action... to complete the thought you'd need the context - it could be deferral pending some event or time ... you didn't give enough facts to fully answer.

They are called Amendments.

I do not think so.  The Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit was hearing an appeal on several issues and the briefs were due to the Court in January.  I do not believe that a decision has been rendered, so until it has, he probably won't get a date.
