2007? Last I looked it is 2009. Why did it take so long or is it a misprint.

The wheels of justice kinda get bogged down in the muck and mire of postponements, delays,adjournments and the need for more investigation. Both counsels getting their acts together. Booking court time. Finding an unbusy judge. Getting witnesses. And on and on. Methinks the courthouse only works on four hour days. Just drop by our courthouse around 2PM or 3 PM weekdays. Forget about weekends. No worry about getting trampled in the rush of traffic inside then.
