More evidence DA Pacheco is swamping the system

Here's another article showing DA Pacheco's swamping of the system. According to the article:

Seven felony cases ready for trial were dismissed Tuesday in Riverside County Superior Court because no judge was available to hear them and the cases had outrun constitutional speedy trial limits.


The court apparently had family, juvenile and probate judges available but would not assign the pending criminal trials to those judges. I suspect the DA will press the issue to have these judges hear criminal trials as well.
