I hear a lot of talk on the TV today about district attorneys turning criminals loose because of newish laws requiring a criminal be brought to trial (or at least a grand jury hearing) within a reasonable length of time (many weeks) The talkers imply that these laws ought to be repealed so that they can hold arrested criminals pretty much forever.
I don't hold with that. I think district attorneys need to get the lead out, reduce the paperwork, increase their staffs, what every is necessary, to try the criminal or at least get him before a grand jury within the statutory limits of time.
