I wonder if it is standard procedure for the state to drag out cases in hopes of bankrupting defendants. If so, every defendant with a “not guilty” verdict should have financial recourse against the state.
That’s definitely part of the process.
It is pretty well known when you are going to be tried by the federal gov’t, they do things like freeze your accounts to prevent you from hiring a good defense lawyer and make it easier to throw you under the bus.
