I know that a speedy trial is a fundamental right but I think something needs to change with it. It just isn't right defenses want to have their cake and eat it too. They call for one but then do all they can to delay it. it's a flat out game, not a fair practice.
And I don't know, in this day and age of voluminous discovery, with things like cell phone dumps and records and more, time for discovery maybe should be looked at, however, I guess if a state charges they had better be ready too and I heard someone say, I believe an attorney, that there should be at least one person they put on it who tracks and ensures all discovery is given to the defense and continues to be, is tagged and noted as to when, what, etc. for the record. Paraphrasing.
it is unbelievable to me this trial is set to get underway in less than two months.
And i don't buy the grand jury argument. I just doubt it would hold water even on appeal. Sounds like Taylor's filing about it was weak and lacked substance so again, just an attempt to delay and stay while demanding speedy trial at the same time. I do think the State in any case though should be ensuring all discovery is given to the defense pronto but then is she just talking of the DNA stuff which they are arguing they don't have to provide? If so, it sounds like that remains undecided for the moment.
You know, maybe when a judge and both attorneys are on a case of this size, it should be the only one or one of few they are handling, at last one with ah speedy trial demand and at least until conclusion. That would help eliminate delays and all should be able to have hearings in short order, attend, etc. and keep the ball rolling. That will likely never happen but something needs to be done. We saw Lori Daybell have the death penalty removed due to such and if that isn't enough reason (same state too) then I don't know what is. Even with this change though, Boyce would have likely still had a hearing to schedule another hearing to schedule another hearing to have a hearing and then take time after all that to issue a decision.
I'd also add that discovery and info is to flow both ways and you don't see Taylor abiding by the provision of alibi. If she has found any or Kohberger has any info which gives him an alibi then it needs to be turned over. Again, a game. They didn't file an alibi they filed a "hope" that one will come about. Stupid imo.
