I was reading about the crypto bro who was convicted of fraud recently, but his sentencing isn’t going to happen until March 2024. Why does it take so long?
Cheers!
Judges are busy, it takes a while to schedule any court case. And you generally can’t schedule a sentencing before someone is actually found guilty. So if it takes, say 4 months before any case, it takes 4 months between hearing and sentencing too.
Sentencing often comes with a Sentencing Investigation.
The Judge looks at past criminal records, evidence from the trial, motions from defense attorneys and prosecution and such. It all takes time.
The crypto bro is currently in jail awaiting the sentencing (and second trial with more charges against him) so it’s not like he’s walking around free.
The dudes going to spend many years in jail.
He’s just cooling his heels in jail until he learns how much longer he’ll be there.
That is four months time, which is not that long a period in legal spheres.
Not enough court funding
