Do you know what the typical time frame is for a criminal case for a situation where there is one possible victim and one suspect?

I don't care how long it takes. We have a legal process, let's use it. And yes, I do hold them 100% accountable for crossing every 't' and dotting every 'i'.

What happens when we rush things? Innocent lives are destroyed. Remember the child daycare fiasco? How may lives were destroyed because people believed a child that was coached and threatened by the DA. Remember the Duke LaCrosse Team and that fiasco. Evidence is suppressed, so some DA can make a name for himself.

If a crime has been committed, we don't round up the usual suspects and throw them all in jail. We do the legwork, we gather evidence (legally), and we present a case. This is the way our founding fathers set things up. I see no reason to disregard our Constitution because some people want to have a witch hunt.

Our Constitution is more important than the FLDS. I would not stand to see them denied their rights, as I would not stand to see your rights denied. If we deny the FLDS their rights to a speedy trial of their peers, then our Constitution is meaningless.

Thanks!

That has been my only argument for the last few weeks.
