Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

My husbands lawyer went to court for him today an waived his right to a speedy trial knowing that he didnt want his right waived otherwise he would have done it himself.

How can we get this reversed?

What can we do?

How can someone waive his right without his consent and against his wishes?

What can I do?

Please please help..
