Right to a speedy trial? Feh! Who needs that part of the Constitution either?

Looks like they are determined to get as much milage out of this case as they possibly can.

That state does not have a 'right to a speedy trial'

By dragging this case out NiFOGG costs the families tons of money. He can survive the general elecltion with no problem at all, and he can decide at the last minute that the girl is too traumatized to testify. In the meantime the families have been dragged thru hell.

That's what race baiting is all about. Punishing whitey!

It sounds as if the judge is simply having the case assigned to the court docket in the order it came up -- as opposed to "fast-tracking" it and bumping it to the top of the list.

I know it sounds like a slow process, but if I had a case on the docket that got pushed back just because this one got moved ahead of mine you can be sure I'd be very p!ssed off.

Constitution...CONSTITUTION you say? /s

"Right to a speedy trial? Feh! Who needs that part of the Constitution either?"

My thoughts exactly. The lives of those young men are going to be on hold and in ruin until then. Given the accuser's lifestyle, I don't know if she'll even be alive by the time the trial begins.

one advantage of all the time it takes to get to trial is that the truth has a way of being exposed, while in a really speedy trial, it would be a victim of the slickest talker.
