"in jail for almost a year," ie. while presumed innocent, without a trial or conviction ⁠for that long, & without Legal Aid getting to defend him or examine evidence. (while someone wealthy could have paid bail & walked out anyway under old system without such press coverage)

a federal judge wrote in 2019: "Justifying pre-emptive incarceration of thousands not yet convicted because some fraction of them would commit an offense is... "an argument for incarcerating every arrestee and defendant until trial or other disposition.”

Also: up until 2020, NY had weak rules on speedy trials AND on discovery [=it did not enable defense to get access to info or evidence, which it may want to question, until shortly before trial]. How can you defend keeping ppl "in jail almost a year" pretrial in such conditions?

Also why does it take a year to try this case? Isn’t a speedy trial enshrined into our constitution? How many needlessly suffer in limbo while the clock runs?

I guess it's too much to ask for headlines about the families who don't have to go on public assistance because their bread winner was able to keep working and paying taxes instead of rotting on Riker's.
