For those who say this is the system at work, the Judge is just doing her job-
there are courts all over this country running smoothly, delivering justice, handing down sentences every day. Two murder cases I have been watching locally have completed, having started weeks after this one - even though the defendants were contentious, they managed to work without all these MONTHS of delays, long weekends, two hour lunches, three or four breaks a day. This one has been exasperating to watch, but hey, finally the Judge actually apologized for the delay this evening! That's a first for her!
