Almost a year since the murder of Charlie Kirk and we are still in the preliminary hearing stage. Like C.K. or not, this is ridicules. OH, but if you think that's bad; We are still waiting for the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, admitted master mind of 911, almost 25 (twenty-five!) years later.

outrageous. The (in)justice system chugs on at a snail's pace.

yeah, but you get 1 guy, that has maybe 1 "extra capacity magazine", in a restricted state like mine, and BAM........you get the honor of a much faster trial.

And you also have convicted murderers sitting on Death Row until they die of old age.

I hope you're not in D.C. Evidently the hacks get their panties in a wad over Madam Guillotine.

The best line I heard was “the government works at the speed of government”.

One could argue if the individual has been incarcerated while waiting trial there is some degree of justice in that.

It certainly appears there is something wrong with a system that takes so long to bring the accused to trial. I thought there was a right to a speedy trial. That should go both ways; for the accused as well as the victim (or their family), and society.

IMO, the more public interest in a trial the longer these "show trials" can be. Almost as if the gov has a vested interest in prolonging the situation to demonstrate the (cough cough) justice system.
