Denial
Hi
Curious why this was denied. It was first denied under Trivia then under Goofs. It can't be too long because I've seen other contributions that are 3 times as long.
it can't be because you all think it's an opinion because it is a fact that a trial does not start in a few days after someone is charged and a verdict AND sentencing takes place a few days later, as this episode clearly portrays. Unless you think that justice, from start to finish, DOES actually move that swiftly. I presented factual imputs to clearly explain why the process takes very long. So please let me know why it was denied for both Trivia and Goofs.

GOOF ADDITION
When they showed the Honore Vashons trial, It was inaccurately portrayed in this episode as if the whole thing, from start to finish, took place within a few days of him being charged. Justice system never works this fast. Vashons trial, from start to finish, would have lasted months or even possibly a year or more as it would involve of lengthy Due Process and adequate preparation: Defense lawyers require months to review evidence to provide an effective defense, The Discovery Phase and evidence gathering: Prosecutors must share all evidence, police reports, and witness statements. Forensic testing: toxicology, and forensics laboratories face massive backlogs. Expert witnesses: Finding and scheduling specialized experts takes significant time. Pre-Trial Litigation Motion practice: Attorneys spend months arguing over what evidence the jury is allowed to see. Constitutional challenges: Disputes over illegal searches or coerced confessions require separate hearings. Pleas and status conferences: Continuous scheduling dates check if a plea deal can be reached without a trial. Systemic Bottlenecks, overcrowded dockets: Judges handle hundreds of cases simultaneously, creating scheduling conflicts.Understaffed offices: Public defenders and prosecutors are frequently overworked and understaffed. Coordination delays: Aligning the schedules of judges, lawyers, victims, and witnesses takes time.
