its not just petty crime getting let out due to section 30.30. We have DUI/DWIs some with serious injuries and fatalities, drug possession, gun charges, abuse, assaults, robbery, etc all citing 30.30 why their charges be dismiss. Again they not claiming they innocent...but simply claim time has expired to prosecute and for jury to hear their case due to backlog especially due to covid. The reform was never envision as a means for these perps to escape justice.

Funny enough its possible for someone to try to murder you and failed and escape prosecution if the DA is backed up and enough time pass due to speedy trial reform. Justice as you said bizarre concept these days

It’s bad policy, history of abusive policing and Covid backlogs that got us here.
