They've dealt with that by unfairly pinning all the blame on Juan. It's all his fault they need more time. Jodi sure was playing her games while reppin'. I don't know why the lawyers have to continue them, though.
As long as JSS allows him to pull this crap, he will continue. He's working the system, and she's allowing it...if the appeals excuse for JSS is valid, then why don't other trials with other judges go this way? They don't, and the guilty still manage to lose most appeals.
eta: I don't actually blame JSS as much as I blame TPTB that assigned this case to her with her lack of experience.
