Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Speedy Trial Act of 1974 imposes specific time limits for the initiation of pretrial and trial procedures in federal prosecutions. This law requires that an indictment or information be filed within 30 days of a defendant's arrest, and that the trial begin within 70 days of the indictment or the defendant's initial appearance, whichever occurs later. Failure to meet these time limits can result in dismissal of the charges against the defendant.
