This form allows a defendant to give up their legal right to have their criminal case tried quickly, which means they agree to delay the trial beyond the normal timeframe. A defendant would use this form when they need more time to prepare their defense with their lawyer or want to negotiate a plea deal rather than rush to trial.
This form must be printed and filled by hand, or opened in Adobe Acrobat.
