Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit November 4, 1976, 20-90011 (United States v. Jose Avalos and Rudolfo Castrillon)

GOLDBERG, Circuit Judge:

Our exploration traces the path of the appellants and their prosecutors through two jurisdictions — a journey that contributed to the government’s delay in bringing the defendants to trial.
