it's been mistakes and delays on both sides, and what brooke jenkins told us is that she's no longer going to have it be because of them. that cases are delayed. and how do you think defense attorneys are likelys shift in m the d? a what we know that in cases where the fact patterns are bad for the defendants that delaying cases is a strategy so they're going to have to argueto delay now. judges oftentimes don't do grant those continuances because they don't want the cases to come back on appeal. when the attorney say oh, well, we weren't prepared, and that's why we lost the case, so they're very cautious about that. so they're going to have to come with a very clear argument to the judge to say this is why we're arguing to continue this case. it's not just a strategy to delay and evidence is san francisco alone in this backlog of cases, all jurisdictions have a certain amount of backlog of san francisco, though, according to a report from the state judicial council is one of the worst in the state. 45% of cases are not adjudicated within a year. that's compared with 80% statewide. s
