Involved shootings i should say. in cases like this, it s i think the family has a point that while we should not be made to wait in definitely while the investigation proceeds and the police have said speedy trial requires these defendants be brought to trial within a certain period of time. that s a little disingenuous. that clock only begins running after someone is charged. for people who don t have law degrees, this stuff can be tricky and i do recall in the casey anthony case, all that civil activity had to wait until that murder trial was over. but in this case, we re seeing all the civil activity getting active before we re even seeing a potential criminal investigation. does that mean that the cops are having a tough time handing out the subpoenas, getting the interviews of the witnesses they need because they may be busy over with other people s lawyers who have held them for, you know, their purposes and it s making it more complicated. ....

Cleveland p.d. police department. one of them is a wrongful death case and the other one is a federal civil rights case. i want to bring in two of our legal an analysts to figure out why this delay. legal analyst danny cevallos and paul callan to talk about the case. on the sur face it seems deplorable that a family would have to wait five to six months to bury their baby. is there something i m not seeing here, paul? it s absolutely shocking because most of these cases they re complex fact patterns a lot of moving parts here. this is a simple, straightforward case you can see it on the video or so it seems. so it seems. the so it seems part is that when you have a criminal investigation of police officers, they always take quite a while. look at what happened in ferguson and the statten island and chokehold case. couple months. the family has filed a civil rights action and part of that may be a wrongful death case as ....
Well, so you have parallel cases going on and it makes it much more complicated and they take longer. danny, i m going to give one to the cops because the police department turned all of this over to the sheriff and they only did that three months ago. the sheriff has said, look, i got this in my lap and started in earnest three months ago. if you want to be fair about this, that person who updated us today has had this case on his desk for three months. sounding like it s a little more realistic? it s an interesting thing. once a criminal case is filed, the constitution requires that you be brought to trial within your speedy trial time. but there really isn t a whole lot of constitutional guidance about how long an investigation can or should take. so it s very interesting in cases like this and as many people have observed when law enforcement is involved, that the investigation takes a lot longer than some of the other run of the mill, civilian ....
