For a misdemeanor, the prosecutor in NY must be ready for trial within 90 days of arraignment. This just means that they must have their paperwork, like, in a DWI case, the supporting deposition from the cop stating that you had glassy bloodshot eyes, smelled of alcohol, stumbled when you walked. A misdemeanor case must go to trial within 2 years of the commission of the crime. Any adjournments asked for by the defense are excluded from these time limits and any time to decide a motion made by the defense is excluded.
