Question: "I am presently in jail for seven felonies. I am twenty years old. Two other boys and I were picked up and charged with burglary. The other two boys were offered parole if they would plead [guilty]. They would only offer me a five to ten year sentence. I broke out, committed another burglary and stole a car. I was picked up and I have not been able to get in District Court. Is this what the Constitution means by quick and speedy trials? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
