::Other options include being dead or disappearing before indictment.::

I can’t, in good conscience, approve of suicide. But it sure could save some money in some of these cases.
Sorry. I didn’t mean to imply that I favored suicide. I wasn’t particularly thinking of suicide, just death in general. I was also kind of implying that some might fake their own death in order to disappear.
Some of them might make that choice, some might be murdered by other derps, and some might run the clock out and die of old age before indictment.
Just to be clear, I’m not pro-murder, either, even for derps. I prefer justice in a court of law.
p.s. I think as far as saving money goes, military tribunals might have some advantage. From what little I’ve learned, it seems that those trials don’t drag on endlessly like similar civilian trials often do.
OTOH, if we are correct that no name was tried in a tribunal, it was over 6 months between the time he disappeared and the time he died. So 6 month trial?
