Under the US Constitutional the right to a speedy trial usually refers to a timeframe of 90 days (+/-) from indictment to trial, although it can be longer if legal motions are filed by either the defense and prosecution. Once the trial is underway it can take as long as the trial process takes.

Depends what the crime is..the circumstances..etc..for instance if its like your first time felony and its just theft or a minor drug charge you'll most likely get probation. Maybe get something more stiff like a year or so. Depends on what you did when you were arrested, how much the prosecutor has it in for, whether or not you plead out, and prior misdemeanors that relate to the offense. If its a felony assault case your most likely gonna get time and the sentence will be based on the severity. If its something like a murder charge and you get found guilty and don't get it dropped to a manslaughter or something you'll get one of three things: Death, life without parole, or life with possibility of parole. They can also stack life sentences on top of each other if they want to.
