Short Discussion

During the shut downs related to COVID-19, speedy trial has been postponed due to the concerns of not social distancing.  This has resulted in many defendant’s not having a trial when they desire to have one.  Thinking about the impact a pandemic or other national emergency can have on the right to speedy trial and a right to a jury trial, answer the following.

Do you think the right to a speedy trial should be absolute? Meaning, there should be absolutely no circumstances which should infringe on that right.  If so, discuss why and cite any relevant case law or statute or constitutional amendment.  If not, discuss why and again cite any relevant case law or statute or constitutional amendment.
