PEACHTREE CITY, Ga.<\/strong> – <\/span>Attorneys for Emmy and Grammy award-winning actress, comedian, and author Tiffany Haddish have filed a motion to dismiss her criminal charges in Fayette County State Court on Monday, citing a violation of her constitutional right to a speedy trial.\u00a0<\/p>

Fayette County legal delays<\/strong><\/h2>

What we know:<\/p>

<\/div>

Haddish was arrested on Jan. 14, 2022, after Peachtree City Police got a call regarding a driver asleep at the wheel on a highway. Officers found a car matching that description, pulling Haddish over, and arresting her.\u00a0<\/p>

The case has now been pending for nearly 52 months. Her attorneys argue the delay is “presumptively prejudicial” under Georgia law, as the court held a hearing on a motion to suppress on May 2, 2024, but has not yet entered an order.\u00a0<\/p>

The defense claims to have announced “ready for trial” at least 10 times and sent approximately a dozen reminders to the court regarding the outstanding rulings. In contrast, the State has filed two motions to continue the matter in March and May 2025.\u00a0<\/p>

Unanswered court motions<\/strong><\/h2>

What we don’t know:<\/p>

The specific reason for the court\u2019s multi-year delay in ruling on substantive motions remains unknown to the defense. While the court indicated as recently as Feb. 10 that orders were “forthcoming,” it is unclear when or if the judge will rule before the next trial calendar.\u00a0<\/p>

Tiffany Haddash’s California arrest<\/h2>

The backstory:<\/p>

On Nov. 24, 2023, the entertainer faced another DUI charge in Beverly Hills, California. She pleaded down to a reckless driving charge and was sentenced to probation.<\/p>

Impact on Haddish’s career<\/strong><\/h2>

What they’re saying:<\/p>

Haddish’s lawyers state she has faced “financial compensation” hits because corporate entities are hesitant to contract with her while the case is active.\u00a0<\/p>

The defense also noted that within the past couple of months, she had difficulty obtaining travel documents for work in Australia. They argue that as time passes, witnesses’ memories fade and exculpatory evidence may deteriorate.\u00a0<\/p>

Next hearing date<\/h2>

What’s next:<\/p>

According to the Fayette County Clerk of Court’s website, a motion hearing is scheduled for Nov. 7 at 8:30 a.m.<\/p>
