RUSH EXCERPT: MCQUADE: "It is interesting. Most defendants prefer to delay their trial date. They want to delay the day of reckoning. They hope that maybe the case will get better for them. That the evidence will grow stale. Witnesses will forget the details, sometimes witnesses even die. But from time to time, we will see a defendant assert their right to a speedy trial. It may be an effort to get the prosecutor flat-footed and catch them before they are ready. It may be because they want to put this behind them, it may be that they want to provide a preview for Donald Trump."
