No, if they want a quick trial, they'd GET a quick trial. The legal system 
proceed at the speed the officials want to. At the time of the Homolka
trial, the prosecutor has enough evidence to fry Paul Teale 10 times over. Both
the defense and the prosecutor knows that. So would the judge. Why the Teale
trial is prosponed until June this year is a myth. I guess some people just 
want to flex their muscle and see how much power they really have over the
average citizen. Now they prove their point. But thank God for the Net and a 
a few brave souls to keep the information flowing.
