Regardless of the charge, the right to a speedy trial is set at 90 days from indictment. However, by mutual agreement between the defense and the prosecution, "speedy" can be waived and run a longer length of time (usually to assist the defense in gathering evidence beneficial to the defendant).

However by mutual agreement of both the prosecution and the defense that period of time anc be waived and it becomes a moveable figure depending on how long eiach side wishes to grant the other to prepare and go forward with the case.

how long can you be held without being indicted?
An investigation may run for years, and an indictment would not be filed until the investigation completes. The 'clock' on your right to a speedy trial does not begin until after you have been arrested. There are time limits, however, in which charges may be filed (statutes of limitations). These limits depend on the state in which they occurred and the nature of the offense (there is no statute of limitations on murder, however).
Can a person get a speedy trial if the commited murder?
The short answer is: Yes, Legally, a "speedy trial" is a trial that is within the specified time-frame, set by law, referred to as the "statute of limitations". As long as the trial has occurred within that time-frame, the defendant has been given a "Fair and Speedy Trial", as required by the 6th and 14th Amendments of the U.S Constitution. Any further specification of "speedy" is an opinion, and has no legal standing.
