A number of us here at WS recently saw the trial of Georeg Wagner IV, who, along with his parents and brother, murdered a family of 8 people over child custody. Those arrests took place in 2018. Despite delays, some due to the work of an onerous defense team, the first trial was held late last year. It ended in a guilty verdict. The next trial for the father, Billy, will take place next spring. That was 4 years from arrest to the first trial.
Justice is slow sometimes, but careful, persistent judges and prosecution teams eventually get the job done without violating the rights of the accused.
