The motion to continue seems to be in essence a motion to delay the trial.

If so, what about the defense’s right to a speedy trial?

When the prosecution is playing hide and go seek with the evidence, then you have to forego your right to a speedy trial with some of the evidence he's hiding for your right to a fair trial with all of the evidence that he's hiding at your disposal.

Defendant has to waive the speedy Trial in order to obtain all information/discovery that the State was obliged to provide in the first place. Prosecutor is playing games with this case and now they are trying to obtain a hail mary to avoid paying $millions to Zimmerman.
