Criminal Defense Law Answers
You're actually getting a speedy trial. The standard for that is six months: you have the right, once you have been charged, to make a written demand for a speedy trial, and then it has to happen within six months (with a very few exceptions). Your trial is taking place just under six months after the occurrence, so there is absolutely no violation of your speedy trial rights here.
It's possible that your charges can be plea bargained down. Whether or not it's likely would depend on a lot more knowledge about what you actually did.
