Re: speedy trial,dates
Your speedy trial time starts running when you are bound over for trial, which means after your preliminary hearing. It is 90 days if you are in jail, 180 if you are out. If the evidence at trial suggests the dates of the alleged crimes are incorrect, they can be changed at that time. This is common in child sex abuse cases because small children are not good at remembering dates.
