How later courts describe this case
- Since the state failed to justify the delay, court must assume that there is no justifiable reason and weigh this factor heavily against the state.
- 15V2 month delay, albeit presumptively prejudicial, does not automatically weigh heavily against the state
- “we do not think the state has justified the delay.”
- 20 month delay not inordinate
