Really? David Westerfield went to trail only a few months after he kidnapped and killed Danielle Van Dam, and he received the death penalty.

When the media and the public 'tries' a high-profile case before it's legally on the docket, it gets moved to the supposed 'fast-track' for all of the reporters.. Yep, you're right -Westerfield got his right to a speedy trial and was convicted quickly in front of the cameras, as I surmise Scott will, too, unless there's something I missed. But do you know how many behind-the-scenes-at-our-expense are being filed for this guy? Politicians and the media love to say they're honoring the right 'to a speedy trial' and they 'will' (wink) insist on it when it's a national and painful issue. Problem is, of course, the victims will have to suffer as the defense, who would have sued if a 'speedy trial' were not granted, will conversely, demand endless delays, seeking 'discovery' since they 'know' a delay is the only thing going for them. Sure, Scott will go to 'trial' REAL SOON, just like Westerfield. Now, when is the last time you heard anything about Westerfield?
