When someone is that totally guilty and they plead not guilty, now a 4 week trial.Double the sentence for this. Criminals use the system against us. Why 4 weeks ??The cost. Then to keep a useless low life in jail for years. ( should have capital punishment for such low lifes).Their must be away to make them pay more for such stupidity at tax payer expense.
