I keep seeing Erika’s supporters asserting her ‘right’ to a speedy trial. She is not the accused. She does not have this right in this trial. This right belongs to Tyler Robinson. And in this case, speedy does not mean kangaroo-court speedy where the prosecution does not provide to the defense the evidence they hold against the accused — Robinson, which is precisely what the prosecution is doing. To my eye, this trial looks like a blatant set-up to speedily convict a patsy who may well be unalived speedily; case closed. ABN
