““A deliberate attempt to delay the trial in order to hamper the defense should be weighted heavily against the government [footnote omitted]. A more neutral reason such as negligence or overcrowded court should be weighted less heavily but nevertheless should be considered since the ultimate responsibility for such circumstances must rest with the government rather than the defendant. Finally, á valid reason, such as a missing witness, should serve to justify appropriate delay.” Barker v. Wingo, supra, 92 S.Ct. at 2192 .”
