SCHR filed an amicus brief in support of Charles Lloyd, an indigent, alleged misdemeanant in Augusta who was not given a trial for two years in the State Court of Richmond County. Mr. Lloyd is represented by the Richmond County Public Defender’s office. Last summer, that office filed 57 motions to dismiss for speedy trial violations due to the fact that the Richmond County State Court routinely requires people who request counsel and a trial to wait for years before their cases are adjudicated.
