How long is a defendant on pretrial release before he/she is sentenced?

Each case is unique and has many factors that can influence the length of time it takes to reach sentencing.  For example, whether a defendant pleads guilty or proceeds to trial; how many co-defendants are charged in the same case; the complexity of the case, etc.  So, while the time on supervision can vary widely, it can take around 18 months on the average from arrest to sentencing.
