      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.
