I’ve never seen the government work so fast as they are with this guy. There’s people in jail that have been waiting months for a trial.

It’s an arraignment, but you’re in the right ballpark.

Sorry

Arraignments are generally rather quick. Even for low profile crimes, they will normally arraign a defendant within a week. They really try to do it much faster with misdemeanors, normally the next business day. Arraignments are quick and easy, trials take years if the defendant doesn’t take the plea deal.

Not really, for example a 2024 case of a Straw Purchaser for guns used in various crimes Dion Jamar Cooper was arrested April 18th and Plead Not Guilty on May 11th.
So, pretty normal timeframe compared to at least one other case. Whats a case with a longer gap between arrest and hearing?

First of all that’s almost twice as long, second of all that’s a single case, which doesn’t mean much. Asking for another single example to argue against is stupid too.
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 months ago
1.643 times as long but both less than a month. You made a statement that it’s going unusually fast when that isn’t the case.
YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No I didn’t. But if I did one example wouldn’t convince me I was wrong.

Fucking trump and his followers staged a fucking insurrection and it took four years and the charges essentially thrown out when he won this election. They want this guy memory holed ASAP because he has genuine public support and the elites are terrified we vastly outnumber them and we’re well armed. Trump likes to say he can shoot someone in the middle of fifth avenue and get away with it, and figuratively so far he has. Let’s see what Luigi can get away with. The trumped up charges are in his favor IMO. Too high of a standard to meet.
