So was Gretta hinting around that in order to get the fairness of a speedy trial one must forfeit their freedom prior to being convicted?

Wow, this gets more devious every day.

No, most courts put cases in which the defendant is in jail in front of cases where the defendant is out on bond. The goal is to get someone who is innocent but too poor to make bond out of jail as soon as possible.
