| If a misdemeanor defendant is convicted at the district court and asks for a trial de novo in the superior court, the protection of his speedy trial interests requires that the State not unduly delay commencement of the second trial, and therefore the period of time running from the entry of the appeal on the superior court docket to the commencement of the new trial merits independent consideration under the speedy trial requirements.
[19] 7. Constitutional Law--Speedy Trial--Measurement of Time
[20] For purposes of the constitutional guarantee of speedy trial, ten-month delay between arrest and commencement of district court trial was sufficiently long to be presumptively prejudicial.
"STATE NEW HAMPSHIRE v. FRANCIS E. LANGONE"
