Answer:

Its so that they cant make you wait in prison for years until a trial.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the right to a speedy trial, that means they cant make you wait for years and just keep you in prison or jail. They have to give you a trial and the 6th amendment makes it so it has to be quick (within a couple months or up to a year)
