Since you didn’t read the article…

While there is a Constitutional right to a speedy trial, the length of time the Crumbleys have spent in jail awaiting resolution of their case has been prolonged by legal challenges and appeals.

“It seems like every other decision is getting challenged, so that slows this process down as well,” said former Wayne County Circuit Judge Vonda Evans, who presided over criminal cases in Detroit for 22 years. “You can’t have it both ways.

“As a retired judge, have I seen people get charged with what they got charged and much less bonds?” Evans said. “Absolutely, but this is a high-profile case … that really rocked the city.

“The prosecutor said they were trying to flee from the very beginning and I think the greatest fear of any judge is to release somebody on a bond they can meet and they don’t come back.”

The Crumbleys have no significant criminal or violent history, although they are accused of attempting to flee after Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald issued charges on Dec. 3, 2021.
