What is the test for a defendant's right to speedy trial?

The right to speedy trial is a fundamental right designed " 'to protect those accused of crime against possible delay, caused either by willful oppression, or the neglect of the state or its officers.' " (Jones v. Superior Court (1970) 3 Cal.3d 734, 738, 91 Cal.Rptr. 578, 478 P.2d 10.) A defendant's right to speedy trial cannot be stifled by procrastination or neglect by public officials. (Sykes v. Superior Court (1973) 9 Cal.3d 83, 94, 106 Cal.Rptr. 786, 507 P.2d 90.)
