I agree 100%. However, this case will not be in front of a jury for at least nine months. For those of you who understand criminal law, it is going to be a long time before a resolution is reached. This includes a grand jury hearing that produces indictments, a motion for change of venue, jury selection, motions to sever the three accessory defendants into two trials or more, and the trial(s) themselves. We are now into early 2021.

My hope is that these demonstrations are peaceful and that the participants can exercise patience. Our judicial system moves very slowly. Case in point: the Manson trial lasted over 9 months.
