WOOD, Chief Judge, and HENDLEY, Judge (specially concurring). The three factors of length of delay, reason for delay and defendant’s assertion of his right to a speedy trial clearly outweigh the State’s equivocal showing that defendant was not prejudiced by the delay. We agree with reversal of this case and dismissal of the New Mexico charges on the basis of Barker v. Wingo, supra; Smith v. Hooey, supra; and State v. Mascarenas, supra. We do not join in the apology for applying Barker v. Wingo, supra, nor do we join in the discussion of prejudice.
