Reflections on the discernments for the establishment of reasonable time in criminal proceedings

Abstract

The legal institution as reasonable time limit has been been a cause for deliberation and discussion, whether, in order to determine, tune or defend, as to safeguard the rights of the accused. Reasonable time limit has a problem in itself, important as it is transcendental, in its various facets and stages of the process, not just judicially. In this installment, the author develops the analysis in relation to the necessary assessment of novelty developments that via jurisprudential doctrine, are recently offered by the Peruvian Constitutional Court. In that vein, this author embraces specifically, a study and reflection on criteria analysis for determining the reasonable period in the Peruvian criminal proceedings.
