Arkansas justice faults high court for skipping speedy trial reform
Original: Arkansas Supreme Court justice says high court missed an opportunity to address speedy trial rules
An Arkansas Supreme Court justice says the state's highest court missed an opportunity to reform speedy trial rules. The criticism, reported by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, comes as courts across the country face scrutiny over trial delays and defendants' constitutional right to a timely hearing. The justice argued the court should have used the occasion to update how speedy trial requirements are applied in the state.
Why now: Because a sitting justice publicly criticized the court's own inaction on trial-delay rules, an unusual institutional rebuke.
