Based on the fact that Layla's trial would take too long to begin, we can say that the amendment being violated is the Sixth Amendment.

What does the Sixth Amendment say?

  • Defendants have the right to a speedy and public trial.
  • Defendants have the right to an impartial jury.

Layla should therefore have the right to a trial that will happen in a relatively short period of time which means that a trial in 8 years is a violation of the Sixth Amendment.

In conclusion, the Sixth Amendment is being violated.
