Re: what is a general time waiver

Under certain circumstances it is necessary to waive the right to a speedy trial (time waiver). Often , this is done for the benefit of the defendant to allow time for assessments for programs, motions, etc. These are for the benefit of the defendant. If you would like to discuss the matter further, please feel free to contact me. Edward DiCato
