“A problem peculiar to the Barker test is its use of the terms presumption of prejudice and actual prejudice. When there has been a lengthy pretrial delay, one of constitutional dimension, then a presumption arises that the defendant has been deprived of his right to a speedy trial; a presumption of prejudice. Once this presumption asserts itself, a balancing test must be employed which involves a weighing of [the] four factors, one of which is actual prejudice. Actual prejudice involves a consideration of three interests the speedy trial right is meant to protect. Whatever importance it assumes in the final outcome is a function of the facts of the particular case. Howell v. State, 87 Md.App. 57, 80 [ 589 A.2d 90 ], cert. denied, 324 Md. 324 [ 597 A.2d 421 ] (1991) (citing Brady v. State, 291 Md. 261, 266 [ 434 A.2d 574 ] (1981)).”
