Bloomberg is reporting that Bannon is getting a November 2023 trial date. Why is it

[JohnSJ]

scheduled over a year away!!!

This is such garbage

[brush]

1. Isn't he suposed to go to jail this month for the other case, ignoring the subpoena?

[Tommy Carcetti]

2. He probably waived his right to speedy trial.

It's not uncommon. Allows both sides to conduct more discovery.

Wheels of justice turning slowly and what not.

3. i have awaited (a non criminal) trial before....your stomach is in shreds waiting even for that...

...I hope he has an entire year of stomach shredding anxiety....

[JohnSJ]

4. he won't. These are sociopaths

[Rebl2]

5. Have no clue unless

there is a backlog due to Covid. I agree it’s ridiculous.

[Ocelot II]

6. Be sure to tell the court it's doing it wrong.

Fact is, the process is complicated and the system is backlogged.

9. There was a

murder case in my area that took five years to come to trial. An angry millionaire that lost a case, killed the lawyer that won the case against him.

7. I think this is in NYC. Lots of defendants. Lots of trials.

8. Rolling the dice so he can get a pardon if Trumps elected again.

[onenote]

10. This is a state charge, not federal.

No pardon available.

[TreasonousBastard]

12. we had a cop who killed his son. took years to get to trial.

[gratuitous]

13. Remember the pandemic? It was in all the papers

A lot of trials got postponed while the courts waited out the pandemic and the quarantine. Those trials are getting scheduled now and it will take many months if not a couple of years to catch up. The good news is that the new trial settings are pretty much carved in stone, and the courts aren't giving favorable hearings to motions for postponement or setover. Bannon's going to trial in November next year, and while that's a long ways away, it's a firm date.

14. We still have October to look forward to.

Wait, wut? It is October! When is his sentencing hearing?

15. Because court dockets are full. This is normal timing
