What I need to know is:
1) If I request the trial by written declaration in person at my arraignment where I will give my plea of "not guilty," will I still be entitled to my right to a speedy trial? I know that I will end up waiving this right if I request the TBWD by mail. But I have heard mixed opinions about what will happen if I appear in-person at the arraignment.
2) If I still have my right to a speedy trial, how does it apply to a TBWD? Is it just so that the deadline for my results are within 45 days from my arraignment?
3) If I do end up having to waive my speedy trial rights, will I still have them for my Trial de Novo?
