Heading: Minimization of Appellant's Anxiety and Concern

Text: With respect to the second interestminimizing an accused's anxiety and concern Barker explains that an accused, even if he is not incarcerated, is still disadvantaged by restraints on his liberty and by living under a cloud of anxiety, suspicion, and often hostility. 407 U.S. at 533, 92 S.Ct. 2182. However, complaining in general terms about suffering anxiety is insufficient to state a cognizable claim. Preston v. Commonwealth, 898 S.W.2d 504, 507 (Ky.App.1995). We require an affirmative showing of unusual anxiety which extends beyond that which `is inevitable in a criminal case.' Id. (citing Hakeem v. Beyer, 990 F.2d 750, 762 (3d Cir. 1993)); accord Dunaway, 60 S.W.3d at 572. As Appellant has made no such showing, we conclude that this interest has not been violated in any meaningful way, if at all.
