The Strategy of Filing Speedy Trial Motions

Defense attorneys are utilizing the tactic of filing speedy trial motions in the Trump indictment case to gain advantages such as severance and the possibility of dismissal. By invoking their right to a speedy trial, defendants are pressuring the prosecution to bring the case to trial within a specific timeframe. If not, the defendants could potentially have their charges dismissed. This strategy is being used by Ken Cheesebro and Sidney Powell, with Cheesebro potentially pleading guilty and receiving first offender probation. However, this tactic is not favored by prosecutors and judges, who often respond with resistance and potential retaliation.
