It's the courts/politics, not the prisoners' lawyers.
You can't drag it out as a political stunt if you bring the case to trial quickly
...which is supposed to be a right...a speedy trial.

Amdt 6.2.1 Overview of the Right to a Speedy Trial
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial...

The remedy for a violation of a defendant’s Sixth Amendment speedy trial right is dismissal of the charges with prejudice.14Strunk v. United States, 412 U.S. 434, 440 (1973)

Courts do not have discretion to fashion less drastic remedies after finding a violation of the Speedy Trial Clause.15
