State v. Hintze
State v. Hintze, 2025 UT 3 (Pohlman, J.)
Criminal
The Utah Supreme Court held:
- The court of appeals erred in weighing the prejudice factor of a speedy trial violation analysis in Defendant’s favor. Without more, the length and nature of the delay were not sufficiently extraordinary to constitute a speedy trial violation.
- Practice tip: The prejudice factor in a speedy trial violation analysis is “to be weighed with and against other factors.” Furthermore, “unlike prejudice requirements in other contexts, it is not a component of a claim that must be proven to secure relief.”
