So what is the legal standard time line for a speedy trial once charged?

Seems the courts are fragrantly negligent on defining that.

TTBOMK, there isn't one. I seem to recall the Supreme Court basically said the right doesn't exist because (a) backlogged courts can't move quickly, and (b) because there's no telling how long a case might last there's no way to tell whether or not the trial wasn't speedy.
