"...and trial will begin May 29th, and should last a week.
Change of venue granted to Chattanooga, jury will be sequestered..."
Trial will last a week? How can a murder trial only last a week?
I have seen many murder trials that were held in 3-4 days including the sentencing phase or the Judge handing down the sentence shortly after if the defendants were found guilty.
The longest murder trials I have ever seen held are in CA and they seem to go on and on forever but there is a lot of wasted downtime in between so that may be why.
I have also seen death penalty cases tried to its completion in 2-3 weeks. Of course Dylan's case isn't one. They must be expecting it to be pretty much cut and dried and think the defense may not put on much of a CIC themselves..if any.
IMO
