Reply to comment by cas-fortuit in Woman framed in ‘rape fantasy’ plot speaks out after conviction of ex-U.S. Marshal by drkgodess

That's my point. You (at least seem to be) conflating arrest and start of trial, or the real start of trial; technically arraignment, where they ask "how do you plea", has to be done within 48 hours or they can't hold you, but the point is the next bit of trial can be months or years after arraignment, which is messed up but here we are.

Though I did say I phrased my comment badly, a left over of an earlier draft.

I’m not conflating anything. Of course trial can take months, if not years. That has nothing to do with my comment.

According to the article, this is the timeline:

  • ex wife Angela pleads guilty and is sentenced in October 2017.
  • POS Ian Diaz is arrested in May 2021.

Why did they wait 3.5 years to arrest him after the ex wife was sentenced?
