You have absolutely zero clue how legal procedure works.
It’s not Law and Order: SVU.
As someone who has personally gone through the discovery process and the trial process, you absolutely need both sides to have had access to everything before you get in that court room. You can’t put a time limit on examining the facts. I’ve seen an insurance adjuster intimidate a jury so that they could try to get a mistrial declared after they learned the plaintiff’s strategy.
Imagine if they told Derek Chauvin’s legal team, “Oh, you didn’t get to examine the witness testimony because the prosecution didn’t provide it earlier? Too bad, your trial’s tomorrow. Good luck.”
Get out of here with your “retribution” idea of what justice looks like. Due process and equal protection under the law cannot be something we pick and choose to apply if this republic is to survive.
