Text: In conclusion, neither Kentucky law nor the federal constitution was offended by the nine-year delay in prosecuting this case against Harris or the fourteen-month delay in bringing the case to trial. Neither delay resulted from the Commonwealth's negligence or other fault, and neither deprived Harris of a fair trial. Nor was Harris's trial marred in any of the other ways he has alleged . He has not shown that his jury was improperly selected, he was not denied an opportunity to impeach T.W., and neither the jury instructions nor the prosecutor's closing argument diluted Harris's right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Accordingly, we affirm the January 23, 2007 Judgment of the Jefferson Circuit Court . 13 All sitting . All concur. COUNSEL FOR APPELLANT : Daniel T.
