This is a federal case there isn’t any standing law with regard to sentencing that needs to be researched. The guidelines are clear and known by all parties and the court. The delay is consistent with similar matters. The court will now hold sentencing conferences and hearing wherein both parties can present sentencing evidence such as testimony and mitigating factors that are not admissible during criminal proceedings or were not admissible to that particular proceeding. There are also a great deal of scheduling concerns and conflicts with regard to court staff and attorneys on both sides.
People should never be upset that due process is deliberate.
Thanks for the clarification, I am not that versed in the judiciary procedures and your comment gave me a better understanding.
I agree with you, 5 months to wait for a potential life in prison isn't too slow.
Due process is deliberate? I don't think anyone is arguing about that.
It's about what is 'due' to the non-guilty. WE are 'due' a justice system that doesn't take LITERALLY YEARS to put white collar criminals behind bars.
Do NOT forget that there is a miscarriage of justice with too slow of a system as well, and we are ABSOLUTELY there.
Nah, go seek your pound of flesh elsewhere you fucking ghoul.
What is ghoulish about recognizing that a system that simultaneously takes YEARS to put literal traitors and millionaire thieves behind bars, but will throw a poor petty theif in jail same day, is actually NOT a "just" system?
Your inability to observe reality is the truly ghoulish thing here. Fucking pathetic defense of a failed system you have, "fucking ghoul". Sure proved me wrong.
Calm down. The bail system needs work and has been revamped in many states. People shouldn't be sitting in jail unless they are a current danger or after they have been sentenced.
The length of time involved in court cases is due to the limited number of judges, lawyers, court clerks, etc. All of these are skilled workers who work more than 50 hours per week.
Are you going to law school to help move these cases along? Paralegal school? Advocating for more court funding? Advocating for UBI?
I advocate for a great many things. It is not my personal responsibility to fix every problem I rightfully complain about. Are you seriously so pathetic that you're going to use the logic of climate change deniers?
"If you're so worried about it, why don't you stop driving your car?" Yea sorry, asshole, dismissing my valid complaints doesn't magically fix the system.
