Just an aside to the point of delays, it's funny how the fact that the delays are caused by defendant's defense attorneys seems to escape general knowledge. Although, I suppose it would kind of take the spark away from the sensationalists to have the general public know the truth. The lies, or omissions of facts are so much more interesting, and so much more likely to get public attention.
Another aside to this point is simply this; it takes a while to get a day in court. Mr. Hicks isn't the only detainee waiting for a trial, and undoubtably, he isn't the first one in either. So others will come first, no matter what. The courts are kind of like first come, first served, so everybody has to wait their turn. When you overturn the "court" that's scheduled to have your trial, then the whole process has to start over.
