    they’ve had 3 years… there’s not that much work.

    granted there is a matter of opening the schedule in the court system to accommodate what is absolutely going to become a sensationalized trial, and less political/legal preparations for that. (i.e. security arrangements) that will take months to set up. and with it being announced and scheduled, there’s a much higher risk of people taking time off to go “protest” things.
