Question

Answer 1

Taxes pay for it. The longer a trial takes, the more it costs, not only in direct costs, but in the backlog to ALL efforts it represents, the judge, the chamber, the attorneys, the people involved in the case, and the OTHER items it causes to wait. And this is guaranteed by the Constitution of the USA, that terrible document that requires that all accused be considered innocent until proven guilty - another reason why the United States is the greatest country in the world - did you think greatness OR freedom was free?
