Right,and you have to have a judge willing to cut the BS and tell the DA to start a trial.
Reality is, that doesn't happen near enough.
Through discovery motions,court approved competency testing and various other reasons, a trial can be delayed almost indefinitely.
Right now,in the county jail where I live there are approximately 2200 inmates in a jail designed for 1200 .
Over 1/3 haven't been to trial, some for years,in fact, if you are charged with a serious crime,the average time to go to trial is almost 18 months.
This is when they want to go to trial,so how big a stretch is it to delay for years if you don't?
