“The Sixth Amendment guarantees a defendant the right to a speedy trial. State v. Fleer, 851 S.W.2d 582, 595 (Mo.App.1993). An instant or prompt trial is not guaranteed. Id. In deciding whether a defendant has been deprived of his speedy trial right, the Missouri Supreme Court adopted the method of analysis set forth by the United States Supreme Court in Barker v. Wingo, [supra]. State v. Bolin, 643 S.W.2d 806 (Mo.banc 1983). This analysis involves the balancing of four factors: (1) the length of the delay; (2) the reason for the delay; (3) the defendant’s assertion of the right to speedy trial; and (4) prejudice to the defendant. State v. Raine, 829 S.W.2d 506, 512 (Mo.App.1992). The application of these factors must be considered on a case-by-case basis. Id.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Williams“[T]he timely assertion of the right to speedy trial is a factor in determining whether the speedy trial right has been violated. In this context, the right is again different from other constitutional rights in that a delay may or may not work to the defendant’s benefit. There is no fixed requirement for when the right must be asserted; rather, the circumstances surrounding the assertion or failure thereof comprise the factor to be weighed. Waiting several months to assert the right to a speedy trial has been found to weigh against a defendant. Although [a] defendant has no duty to bring himself to trial, ... failure to assert the right will make it difficult for a defendant to prove that he was denied a speedy trial.”
