November 2009 to August 2013 - 3.6 years just to start a trial where the accused has already confessed to the crime yet interminable discussions as to beard and other topics move the wheels so slowly as to make glaciers seem to be NASCAR candidates. A mockery of the truism of “Justice delayed is justice denied!”
You may have noticed that the wheels turned much faster in the case of Timothy McVeigh. “Not that there is anything wrong with that”, of course.
