What happened to the “right to a speedy trial”???

Sixth Amendment

The Sixth Amendment guarantees the rights of criminal defendants, including the right to a public trial without unnecessary delay, the right to a lawyer, the right to an impartial jury, and the right to know who your accusers are and the nature of the charges and evidence against you.

That only applies to the government, didn’t you get the memo from Jamaican Rasta Judge Chutkan?

The usual method is to get the victim to waive their right to a speedy trial by intimidation - threatening draconian charges stipulating decades of confinement as opposed to lesser felonies and misdemeanors which seldom carry four year sentences... The Washington DC circuit is made up mostly of Obama appointed judges who are communists. Most of these victims of Obama were represented by public defenders who are as hostile to them as the communist judges.

What happened to the “right to a speedy trial”???

I was wondering the same thing. Apparently the answer is that his case is caught up in the pending appeal to the Supreme Court, in which other J6 defendants argue against some of the charges on which they were convicted. If they win, Lang couldn’t be tried on similar charges, so his trial awaits the SCOTUS decision.

As to why he’s still in custody, his conduct was more violent than that of others, but the main thing is that he ruined his own bail application by shooting his mouth off afterwards. According to a news story:

[Judge] Nichols cited the two-hour duration of Lang's alleged combat with police; his lack of remorse as he bragged about his activities on social media; and the strength of the evidence against him in video recordings and his social media posts.

But the judge also gave another reason to keep Lang in jail: alarming comments that he allegedly made on social media after the riot about "getting a f---ing arsenal together" for Biden's inauguration and waging war against the government.

"I think these messages — which, again, happened after January 6th — they were not in the heat of the moment, and they reflect at least a risk that in the future Mr. Lang would, as the government put it, be at risk of committing or advocating violence in favor of his political beliefs," Nichols said, according to a transcript of the hearing.

The takeaway: If you're planning to get an arsenal together and wage war on the government, don't brag about your plans on social media.
