Whether petitioner was denied his Constitutional Right to a Speedy Trial Pursuant to the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments. Gonzales v. State, 435 S.W.3d 601, 815 C Tex. App. 2014)

Whether the delay of approximately 24 months between time of arrest to time of indictment on Aggravated Robbery Charges was Presumptively Prejudicial. Maples v. [legal citation] F.3d 1020 C644 Cir. 2005.)
