“It is time to try this case. (The) defendant was arrested in late December of 2022 and was indicted in May of 2023,” lead prosecutor Bill Thompson wrote in a legal brief posted Tuesday. “While the publicity surrounding this trial is a challenge, defendant has not shown — and cannot show — that continuing this trial will make things any easier. It is just as likely that delay will make it harder to seat a jury.”
