“Unlike those peasants who worship royalty across the water, we have a Constitution that guarantees a speedy trial.”
Except in some states, like North Carolina, where an inmate was jailed for 4 and a half years awaiting trial, and it was ruled not to be a violation of his right to a speedy trial, because it wasn’t a deliberate delay, the courts were just too crowded to get to his case...
(North Carolina was also the site of the infamous Duke lacrosse case... built around a crime that never happened.)
Well, at least our rights are written down somewhere :)
“and it was ruled not to be a violation of his right to a speedy trial, because it wasn’t a deliberate delay”
Sounds like the Hillary ruling...no obstruction as there was no intent to obstruct.
