This statement is false. The right to a speedy trial does not guarantee that all defendants will go free if the right is violated, regardless of the severity of their crime. The consequences of a violation of the right to a speedy trial vary depending on the circumstances of the case. For example, a defendant may be entitled to have the charges dismissed, or may be entitled to a new trial without the evidence that was obtained during the delay. However, murder suspects are not exempt from the protections of the right to a speedy trial.
