You can waive your right to a speedy trial, like you can waive the majority of your rights. It's done pretty routinely in major cases, sometimes for legitimate reasons and sometimes the defense plays a game hoping witnesses will stop showing up or the victim will get tired of the disruption to their life and move on, etc.
I've no idea how they ended up at 10 years, but I'd want to see how many continuances he (via his lawyers) have asked for prior to assuming there's something nefarious going on or that it's anyone's fault other than his and his lawyers.
