The consequences of a speedy trial violation may require that the case be dismissed, although depending upon the circumstances it may be possible for the state to again initiate a criminal charge against a defendant despite a speedy trial violation. Defendants may waive their right to a speedy trial for the purposes of negotiation. [21] [22]
