It is a right specific to an accused held in custody. In other words you can't hold someone in custody based on an unproven complaint forever. The defendant has a right to have the charges against him heard quickly if he so desires rather than languish in jail.

What? I knew a defendant had that right and that Westerfield motioned to get it and the judge complied... What were you trying to tell me?
