Ken WhiteMay 2024 is a very reasonable, perhaps a bit fast, trial date for Trump’s case. Don’t let people who don’t know what they are talking about tell you otherwise.
Slim@Popehat I, admittedly, don’t know much about the justice system, but a trial date 22 months after the search of Mar-a-Lago seems like a long time
Lizard@Slim1023 @Popehat There's people who wait far longer, usually in prison, for trials. TV has created this weird idea that a suspect arrested on Monday is in court on Tuesday, Wednesday at the very latest. The Pittsburgh Synagogue shooter committed mass murder in 2018 and was just tried a few weeks ago, and that's a (legally) far simpler case, with a defendant with far less ability to throw sand in the gears of the system.
And if Trump was tossed in prison after the MAL raid and his trial didn't happen for years, the way it is for most people who commit far less serious crimes, that's be one thing. But Trump is correct there's a 2-tiered justice system, and he's firmly in the upper tier.
