You are right about SP waiving time. BUT since that appearance I've heard Geragos say he wants a speedy trial and will pursue a full blown preliminary. July 16th is the scheduled prelim, I think that SP is entitled to a speedy trial within 60 days of the end of the prelim unless he waives time again. The previous waiving of time was in regard to the bail hearing, which has not occurred, and the re-scheduled prelim which was originally scheduled for May 19th.

Thanks for the clarification. From what the legal pundits (Ted Williams for one) have stated, having the prosecution lay all their cards on the table in a full blown prelim would be detrimental to their case & give Geragos a clear perspective on what path they're taking for conviction. I guess Geragos is an @ss, but not stupid.
