Three-and-a-half years, and still no trial either for Peterson or the shooter. Has Florida not yet learned that “justice delayed is justice denied”?

That truly is a disgrace. I was talking about this sort of thing to a lawyer friend of mine the other day. He said the courts like it that way. By dragging things out there’s more of a chance for a plea bargain. And plea bargains save the courts time and money.
I guess that makes some sense. But it’s very bad for society in general. It makes it look like no one is getting punished for anything.
But it is very profitable for the attorneys at the bar.
