To me what always blows my mind is the legal system WAS supposed to give you the right to a speedy trial of your peers.... somehow we (US) seem to have completely forgotten this
You have the right to a speedy trial, which you may waive. You may also delay if the strategy helps your case.
What's wrong with that?

I am thinking more along the lines of when the government like the SEC in this instance is not turning over everything required... when the government drags its heels, which is a more and more commonplace move with the defendants having to file motions for evidence, I see as a problem. Yes, the case could be dismissed and it could even be dismissed with prejudice to prevent the government from going after them again for the original thing but again its just a longer and more drawn-out process.

Ah, no doubt about it. The government should. not be allowed to use delay tactics. It should be forthright and transparent in all dealings with citizenry.

It is why bitcoin is so vitally important. We must starve the beast.
