Question presented

I. When does lengthy solitary confinement of an accused coupled with significant pretrial delays violate an accused’s Fourteenth Amendment right to Due Process and Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial? II. Where a search warrant affidavit fails to make an express connection between the evidence sought and the address of the place to be searched, can a reviewing magistrate simply infer that such a connection exists?
