Unless they have more than reported it might be hard to get past

Indeed, but those issues have nothing to do with the "right to a speedy
trial."
It certainly does if the prosecution is not ready to go to trial.
Fortunately for them, lawyers get paid by the hour so, even if they
were ready, the defense will drag this out.
There is no such thing as speedy justice.
I'm sorry...has the guy been indicted? No? Then the clock isn't running.
And once it starts running, doesn't the prosecution have six months or
so to get to trial? While the standards for obtaining an indictment are
pretty low, prosecutors usually try a bit harder for a murder true bill.
Unless you are in the south and the defendant is black...then, there are
no standards, apparently, and, if you are in Texas, in trial it doesn't
even matter if your defense attorney is awake or sober.
