gotcha. Yeah, that's on the police officers. You can't just arrest people because a random person says they robbed and beat him. Gotta have some evidence.

This is the beauty of the prison complex. Laws written by beneficiaries, for beneficiaries.

quote:

The Bronx courts are so clogged that when a lawyer asks for a one-week adjournment the next court date usually doesn’t happen for six weeks or more. As long as a prosecutor has filed a Notice of Readiness, however, delays caused by court congestion don’t count toward the number of days that are officially held to have elapsed. Every time a prosecutor stood before a judge in Browder’s case, requested a one-week adjournment, and got six weeks instead, this counted as only one week against the six-month deadline. Meanwhile, Browder remained on Rikers, where six weeks still felt like six weeks—and often much longer.
