1. “"It is well settled that the passage of time alone will not bar imposition of a sentence or require an accused's discharge. In order to assert that speedy trial was denied, the delay must be purposeful or oppressive. [citation omitted] Whether the delay amounts to a deprivation of an accused's right to a speedy trial depends upon the circumstances of the particular case."”

United States, 330 U.S. 160 , 67 S.Ct. 645 , 91 L.Ed. 818 [1947]: "`This Court has rejected the "doctrine that a prisoner, whose guilt is established by a regular verdict, is to escape punishment altogether because the court committed an error in passing the sentence." ... The constitution does not require that sentencing should be a game in which a wrong move by the judge means immunity for the prisoner.'"”
