Your honor. The prosecution has all the evidence it needs to prosecute which is why we obtained indictments against the defendant.
Also your honor, we need to delay trial for 9 months for.... reasons.
No your honor we don't see delaying this trial for 9 months as a violation of CPL 30.30 because we intend to use the standard prosecutorial methods of pausing the 6 month clock repeatedly. Historic precedent already shows that our DAs have delayed trial for upwards of 3 years on some suspects even when they couldn't make bail and were therefore in general pop prison without conviction. So it is the opinion of this DA that 9 months should not be considered an imposition to the defendant here either.

A great way to put it. Unfortunately, we have two tiers justice and this might happen.
