5 yrs ago there wasn’t discovery reform that buried prosecutors in paperwork and attached speedy trial dismissal as the one and only remedy (practically speaking that’s how it played out despite what the statute says) for their failure to keep up with 10x their normal work load.

I anticipate many of the arrests under this new felony will be downgraded except for the most serious ones, much like what happens to many felony arrests.
