Even many Freepers here on this site with no legal background were saying there was no way in hell the trial would start in August. We were basing that on our own experience with the legal system.
I have news for y’all, too … this trial ain’t starting four months later, either.
Agreed about the unreliability of the corporate media. I’m talking actual trial lawyers who have handled criminal defense in the federal courts. They all said even a normal case with no complications takes 18 months and this case involves a lot of new/unique interpretations of law. Ergo, it will go on for longer than 18 months.
