Who created it…
The Speedy Trial clause was designed by the Founding
Fathers to prevent defendants from
languishing in jail for an indefinite period before trial,
to minimize the time in which a defendant’s life is
disrupted and burdened by the anxiety and scrutiny
accompanying public criminal proceedings, and
a prolonged delay before trial will impair the ability of
the accused to prepare a defense.
ALSO…
The longer the commencement of a trial is postponed,
the more likely it is that witnesses will disappear, that
evidence will be lost or destroyed, and that memories
will fade…
In addition
(and for fun) mostly for fun:P
