    This is because defence lawyers often advise their clients to waive their right to a speedy trial, so they can get more time to prepare a defence. If you insist on the right to a speedy trial, then it is usually held in a month.

      Given the footage available; shouldn’t the prosecution be capable of meeting them with a speedy trial? This doesn’t seem like the sort of thing that requires months and months of investigations.

      I appreciate you giving genuine answers. They’re often hard to get.

      /edit: another of your replies clears this up. Thank you.
