Speedy trial, as in: "I try to dump my shit first, and if I dump enough shit on Trump I may get out with a slap on the fingers instead of a stay behind bars. Better than waiting and getting shit dumped on by the others."

I suspect her motives may simply be that she wants this done quickly, and to not be waiting for another 2 years to suit Donald Trump's election bid.

Whatever we may think about the alleged crimes, they're all innocent until proven guilty and this will be highly disruptive for their lives. I can empathise with the desire to get this done rather than allow the trial to be postponed because one person wants to.

they’re all innocent until proven guilty

While indeed they are, they were not booked for that trial because they were picked at random out of the general populace...

A slap on the fingers sounds a lot worse than a slap on the wrist. I’m for it.
