Whether Petitioners Constitutional Fifth Amendment's Right to Due Process of Law and his Sixth Amendment Right to a Speedy Trial were violated

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION PRESENTED FOR REVIEW IWhether Petitioners Constitutional Fifth Amendment’s Right to Due Process of Law and his Sixth Amendment Right to a Speedy Trial were violated when his trial did not begin until five years/two months after his indictment; his trial lasted seventeen months/ eight days, and from conviction to sentence two years/four months, for a total of nine years/ten days. The filing of excessive multi-defendant Indictments that will necessarily cause Constitutional Speedy Trial violations should be prohibited. IIThe excessive delay of seventeen months/eight days length of trial violated Petitioner’s Due Process rights to a speedy and fair trial since the verdict was based on the jury’s faulty memory.
