Malcolm Feeley, a professor at the UC Berkeley Law School, says there’s another, less obvious reason for delays: inadequate preparation by prosecutors…. “It’s a very passive process, where everybody is waiting to see what everybody else wants to do,” he says. “If prosecutors could spend more time investigating their cases, or if they’d just read the file ahead of time, they could move them along.”
