Defense attorney Robert Essex argues against a request by prosecutors to bring his client, Charles Hays, to trial for the 1972 nonfatal shooting of a Columbus police officer, on Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2017, in Columbus, Ohio. Essex said the state violated Hays rights to a speedy trial by letting almost 45 years pass before moving forward with the case. Essex also said Hays is in poor health and might not be able to stand the rigors of a trial. (AP Photo/Andrew Welsh-Huggins)
