The attorney was rude, not respectful.......perhaps the judge had had a snootful of this guy.....
If you listened to the tape, the judge DOES give the man a right to a speedy trial.
I did listen to the tape
the judge wannted the lawyer to waive it
A speedy trial is a right guaranteed to every defendant by the Constitution. A judge cannot give a defendant a right to a speedy trial. Nor can a judge take it away. Only the defendant can terminate that right through voluntary waiver. In this case the judge was trying to get the defendant to waive the right and the attorney, quite properly, refused to do so on behalf of his client.
