The right to a speedy trial is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution, made obligatory on the states by the Fourteenth Amendment. Section 10 , Article I of the Ohio Constitution guarantees an accused this same right. State v. MacDonald (1976), 48 Ohio St. 2d 66 , 68 , 2 O.O.3d 219 , 220 , 357 N.E.2d 40 , 42 .
