Also the whole thing with catalado not wanting to pay for a lawyer, that went all the way to the supreme court, the state couldnt go on with their case until that was settled(the only thing that really settled it was catalato dying).

There has also been quite a bit of litagation about the defense wanting alot of the wiretaps thrown out on some technacalities.

This is just a couple of ways that theyve delayed the trial so far.
