(in the US) The defendant is protected by the Constitutional provision of right to a speedy trial, and their case will usually be presented before the end of 90 days. HOWEVER - this timeframe is flexible and if either the defense or the prosecution asks for the waiver of "speedy trial" it is customarily granted.
