Not speedy because it was primarily the DEFENDANT who delayed it.... Hadit....Irrelevant. He has the Constitutional right to a speedy trial, and this is not that a speedy trial. There is no good reason that it should take this long.
along with some delay from covid back ups awaiting trial that were all lingering before January 6th, then add the new street thug criminals and then the thousand January 6th rioters to the DC court system and yeah, I'm pretty certain the court system in D.C. is ready to crack....
I'm guessing there is a standard rule to keep cases within a court circuit or something?.... must be in place? But otherwise, why not ship to another region?
