There were also concerns about finding jurors who could sit through the start of the summer holidays.

The jury system is loved by Defenses the world over because they can use it to grind the gears of justice. This results in victims becoming frustrated with the legal process and often times charges being dropped and also most importantly with big juicy billable hours for said Defense.
