Re: Tickle

The Hicks rule is a reference to a Maryland case that dealt with the defendant's right to a speedy trial that is specified in a statute. The State must bring the case to trial within 180 days of the defendant's first court appearance, unless the defendant has waived the right explicitly or via a request for postponement.
