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.

Well, actually this post was talking about a visit from Federal Law Enforcement, so I was refering to Federal Law regarding Federal cases. As such, this is the statute I was refering to:
628 Speedy Trial Act of 1974
Title I of the Speedy Trial Act of 1974, 88 Stat. 2080, as amended August 2, 1979, 93 Stat. 328, is set forth in 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161-3174. The Act establishes time limits for completing the various stages of a federal criminal prosecution. The information or indictment must be filed within 30 days from the date of arrest or service of the summons. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(b). Trial must commence within 70 days from the date the information or indictment was filed, or from the date the defendant appears before an officer of the court in which the charge is pending, whichever is later. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(c)(1).
Again, I am reminded that you are one of the types that combines trivia with arrogance and tries to pass it off as intelligence. Still, I haven't seen anything that impresses me a whole lot and I can't see where you know enough about anything in order to justify your arrogant attitude.
Perhaps you need to go study something worthwhile rather than making things up and blasting people who post based on that.
