1. “[Barker v. Wingo, 407 U.S. 514 , 92 S. Ct. 2182 , 33 L. Ed. 2d 101 (1972)] recites a “balancing test” which requires courts to approach each case on an ad hoc basis. This “balancing test” involves four factors bearing upon questions of speedy trial, namely, “Length of delay, the reason for the delay, the defendant’s assertion of his right, and prejudice to the defendant.” ... As further stated in Barker. . . “We regard none of the four factors identified above as either a necessary or sufficient condition to the finding of a deprivation of the right of speedy trial. Rather, they are related factors and must be considered together with such other circumstances as may be relevant. In sum, these factors have no talismanic qualities; courts must still engage in a difficult and sensitive balancing process.””
