Another reason people can't stand lawyers and the legal system

You might remember John Couey. He was the scumbag who kidnapped, raped and murdered a 9 year old girl in Florida earlier this year. Now today we have this news:

INVERNESS, Fla. — Attorneys for a sex offender accused of kidnapping, sexually assaulting and killing 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford say they are being rushed to trial and are seeking to have the judge removed from the case. Assistant Public Defender Daniel Lewan said in a motion this week that Circuit Judge Richard Howard (search) is not giving the defense enough time to prepare for a case that could have more than 300 witnesses.

So let me get this straight, this loser lawyer wants to waste millions of taxpayer dollars calling as many as 300 witnesses and he is upset that the trial judge wants the case to move along?!?! If the liberal courts had not bastardized our justice system over the last hundred years his client would have already been buried and the liar (oops, lawyer) is upset that the trial is being scheduled for next February. Amazing! Our system was set up to ensure a fair trial but has been so abused through BS motions and a ridiculously drawn out appeals process that the term speedy trial is laughable anymore. Doesn't the victim's family have the same right to a speedy trial?
