Unless right to a speedy trial was waived by the defendant or their attorney, speedy trial statutes usually require about 90 days from date of arrest to the start of trial. This time period is WIDELY waived by both the state and the defense, in order for both sides to gather more evidence to either bolster, or tear down each others cases.
