Re: Time to Indict
This is not NY, where there is a 60 day time limit. There is basically no set time set in stone. The rules allow for a speedy trial hearing. But as far as indictment, as long as there is no prejudice to defendant (for instance, he's in jail, etc.) or defendant's defense, they can take their sweet time. That time frame you mentioned is the usual.
Re: Time to Indict
Unlike New York State, New Jersey has no 90 day period for indictment; it has only the right to a speedy trial which is triggered by the defendant's motion for a speedy trial. No speedy trial motion and there is no violation of the right to a speedy trial
