Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey
Speedy Trail Continued
This is in addition to my previous question, If NJ does not have a Speedy Trial Statute, then does that mean that in order to assure a citizens constitutional right to afair and speedy trial, does then the state have to follow the Speedy Trail act of 1974? Thanks again

Re: Speedy Trail Continued
New Jersey follows the federal case law which requires that a speedy trial motion be made before the issue is properly raised. Once an Order is entered defining the time frame for a speedy trial the failure to have a trial within that time frame becomes of Constitutional magnitude.
