Is the system broke?

If this doesn't convince you the system isn't working, I think you had too much to eat today.
A monster kills two police officers in 1982 and was found guilty in 1984. The article says he was sent to San Quintin which probably means he was sentenced to die for his crime. In 2005 the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal held that the monster had ineffective assistance of counsel. Over twenty years later!!!! The court ordered a new trial. That's just the RivCo citizens need. The court of appeal admits that the evidence was such that there was no question he killed the officers, yet now one court room needed to relieve the backlog will be taken up for a month to hear this guys' retrial. Nice.
