In my opinion the reason none of the W4 "rushed it" is because of the death penalty. Too much at stake IMO
The reason for not demanding speedy trials can best be attributed to lack of discovery evidence, at least in regards to GW4.
GW4 had his trial scheduled for:
09/04/2019 08:30 AM JURY TRIAL
At the July 24, 2019 pre-trial hearing the motion to waive speedy trial was granted:
Judge Deering:
Now let's consider the matter of the continuance of the jury trial. Do you wish to address that council?
Attorney:
We did file a motion to continue trial ... the biggest issue is
lack of discovery.
We understand there will be more discovery forthcoming. In light of that, in time to prepare for trial we'd ask to continue that. In addition with that request we have an executed time waiver here as well.
Judge Deering:
You wish to approach with that?

GW4's attorney gives the waiver to the judge that GW4 signed, and the judge addresses Mr Wagner advising him about his US and Ohio Constitutional rights to speedy trial and asks him questions about it to make sure it's on record that this is what Mr. Wagner wants etc...
