Lol, a six month delay before trial is not an unusual amount of time at all for a situation like this. People are really reaching for straws around here to try and prop up this conspiracy theory.
Six months delay before trial with specific charges and serious evidence is normal, even preferable if on bail, giving time to formulate a viable defense.
Six months incarcerated with only vague charges and no evidence is a serious affront to a citizen’s liberty & rights.
I understand what’s the norm. I also understand what looks like the state desperately doing everything it can to nail them on _something_ to avoid a _very_ embarrassing outcome (to wit: “sniper ambush” without good cause). They’d better have a good case (both legitimate & winnable), because if they don’t a bunch of their own will be in jail for life.
