Question

1. tom obrien, author of the undoing of speedy trial in new york: the ready rule in the new york law journal wrote, kalief browder was one of thousands of prisoners, presumed innocent, but jailed for years at rikers island waiting for their trials. our current speedy trial law perversely enables this state of affairs. the two most critical shortcomings are: one, abuse of theready rule, by which prosecutors regularly stop the running of the speedy trial clock by claiming to beready for trial when they are not; and two, the court congestion exception, which can cause innocent individuals like kalief browder to spend extra years in jail due to court congestion that they are in no way responsible for. the misuse of the speedy trial law is chiefly responsible for the existence of a long - term detainee population at rikers island. enactment of the reforms in this bill could have a dramatic and lasting effect in reducing that population. according to obrien what are the two most critical shortcomings of the current speedy trial law in new york? 10. what is kaliefs law?
