If that isa denied, than you can sue them, or appeal, or try to take it to the Supreme Court.Another View: I assume you are still being held in jail - file a Writ of Habeus Corpus citing the denial of your Constitutional right to a speedy trial. This should have the effect of releasing you from custody. After consultation with an attorney you can come to a decision as to whether you wish to bring suit or not.

It depends. There is something called a speedy trial clock. That means tht the state needs to be ready for trial within a certain amount of time.

So, if you don't make bail, you sit in jail... but the government usually has less time to be ready with your case. If you cannot make bail, your lawyer can ask for a reduction from th judge.
