    42 Years in prison will quite likely be reduced to 42 hours of desk-duty with full pay, as that is how disgustingly corrupt police "officers" get "punished" normally.

Not only with the charging of further misdeeds, but with his prosecution and, if warranted, sentencing. E.g. The cop in Glendale, Arizonia that dragged a passenger out of a car and tased him in the groin because the passenger wouldn't provide ID. The cop didn't get jail or probation and only had to pay $115 in court costs. The cop did have to forfeit his peace officer license, but he gets to keep his pension and his disability payout.

    As one that's been aware of corruption within law enforcement, it's nice to see some brought to light... be even better to see actual justice served. So many know & have known of this type of corruption, as there is a long standing joke regarding fulfilling gov contracts (for instance: the joke of 5 road crew guys standing around for hrs watching 1 guy work= fraud of lesser severity; cops using state issued equipment, vehicle, & status to provide security for private business... It goes on & on, many of us witness this fraud & corruption on the daily and just accept it as the norm) it's surprising to see something actually being done.

    How do such people get positions of such power?

Since nearly all officers have this type of mentality the cover ups and criminal obstruction to hold these men and women accountable is a continuous uphill battle. Law Enforcement is the only position I know of where you don't even have to know your job: most officers know nothing of the laws and statutes they must uphold let alone any of the constitutional privileges afforded to all. It is disgusting to think these people can kill another person with little to no consequence.

      The right to a speedy trial tends to be waived by defendants, via their attorney's advice. If you do not waive it, the prosecution has to be prepared to move forward in the timeframe specified by statute in your particular jurisdiction.
      I fully agree that the bond in the case is low though. And that most likely does indicate some preferential treatment, imo.
