This is what I read somewhere
My first court date was July 17, 2006 that day I plead not guilty to a speeding ticket. The officer was not present so the trial was rescheduled. I received a notification in the mail with my new court date of Sept 25, 2006 which is 70 days after I entered my first plea. So does this new court date violate my right for a speedy trial?
I cannot find anywhere in NJ statutes that says 45 days. Here is the site for NJ statutes http://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/cgi-bin/om_isapi.dll?clientID=14563432&depth=2&infobase=statutes.nfo&softpage=TOC_Frame_Pg42You are guaranteed by the constitution to a fair and speedy trial. That means that within 45 days of the day that you entered your plea, you should be attending your trial.
