    This is a federal case there isn’t any standing law with regard to sentencing that needs to be researched. The guidelines are clear and known by all parties and the court. The delay is consistent with similar matters. The court will now hold sentencing conferences and hearing wherein both parties can present sentencing evidence such as testimony and mitigating factors that are not admissible during criminal proceedings or were not admissible to that particular proceeding. There are also a great deal of scheduling concerns and conflicts with regard to court staff and attorneys on both sides.

    People should never be upset that due process is deliberate.

      Due process is deliberate? I don’t think anyone is arguing about that.

      It’s about what is ‘due’ to the non-guilty. WE are ‘due’ a justice system that doesn’t take LITERALLY YEARS to put white collar criminals behind bars.

      Do NOT forget that there is a miscarriage of justice with too slow of a system as well, and we are ABSOLUTELY there.
