After winning a suppression hearing can you file a motion for speedy trial if the prosecution has adjourned the case four times after the suppression was granted?
I would file a motion to dismiss the case. If the prosecution has deprived the accused of his right to a speedy trial, the charges must be dismissed. Four continuances by the prosecution seems like too many to ensure the accused a speedy trial. I suggest you talk with a criminal defense attorney ASAP (if you are not already represented) , as you will need a good lawyer on your side to get the charges dropped or a speedy trial.

Under "speedy trial" rules generally the prosecution must begin within 90 days of arrest. But this is subject to MANY things, not the least of which is the defense waiving the right to speedy trial in order for them to prepare more adequately for the trial process. Any requests for waiver of "speedy" whether requested by, or granted by, the defense extends the trial date by the amount of time agreed upon. Added: Many states require the defendant (or defense attorney) to file a formal speedy trial demand before such time constraints take effect.
