On Thursday, Charles Robert Smith waived what is commonly referred to as the “Hicks rule” — a defendants’ right to a speedy trial. In Maryland, unless given good cause, a criminal trial in Circuit Court must occur within 180 days of the defendant’s first appearance in court or after a defense attorney is entered into the case.

Citing the complex nature of the case, which already involves troves of written and video evidence and may include input from federal investigators, county prosecutors and public defenders agreed to push what would have been a January trial to late May and the first half of June. Anne Arundel County State’s Attorney Anne Colt Leitess will be trying Smith, her first case since successfully obtaining a conviction two years ago for the shooter in the Capital Gazette newsroom attack.

Thursday’s hearing before Anne Arundel Circuit Judge Donna Schaeffer did not confirm the court dates, though Assistant State’s Attorney Jason Steinhardt, who is trying the case with Leitess, said they were mutually agreed to. Anne Arundel Circuit Judge J. Michael Wachs, who will preside over the case, is expected to issue an order solidifying a two-week trial schedule
