If that's true, it's a state law. The poster did not say where she was located. Some states have no "speedy trial" laws, especially for felonies. They can sometimes wait for years until the statute of limitations runs out.

The right to a speedy trial is guaranteed by the 6th amendment to the constitution.

Yes, it does. But does it spell out how long they can wait to bring someone to trial? No, it sure doesn't. But some states have spelled it out. My state has a speedy trial LAW. It says that the time from a misdemeanor arraignment to trial cannot exceed six months. Anything longer and the charges are dropped. Try to find that in the U.S. Constitution. All you have is a vague statement that's interpreted differently everywhere and is interpreted differently for felonies and misdemeanors.
Go back to studying, there's a lot to learn about constitutional law.
