Question Presented (from Petition)

APPELLATE DISTRICT COURTS IN ILLINOIS ARE SPLIT ON HOW AN ARREST INITIATES PROSECUTION OR WHETHER IT DOES AT ALL. ARE THERE CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE A PERSON'S ARREST AND ACCUSATION FOR AN OFFENSE, with delays, can initiate his prosecution for purposes of his constitutional right to a speedy TRIAL?

IN ILLINOIS, INDIGENT DEFENDANTS WHO ARE REPRESENTED BY PUBLIC DEFENDERS' OFFICES ARE UNDER A DIFFERENT STANDARD REGARDING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AS THOSE REPRESENTED BY A PRIVATE LAW FIRM. ARE THERE ANY CONCEIVABLE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT Could create an office-wide conflict of interest IN A PUBLIC DEFENDER'S OFFICE. ILLINOIS SAYS NO.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

When does an arrest initiate prosecution for speedy trial purposes?
