    For what it’s worth, a lot of times the reason why these trials take so long is because they are trying to build an airtight case. Kind of the same reason why sometimes you see obvious murderers being treated “well” like that shitstain kid who shot up a school a few years back. They want to make sure there’s no bias, no mistreatment, no cause for mistrial etc. It’s frustrating but I guess I get it.
