given what i have read about her, calling her "untested" might be a stretch...and i have to admit to being somewhat ( let's not forget the radical agnositicsm ) mollified about her approach since by setting a trial date she has pretty much taken the middle ground between defense and prosecution desires on that...that said ( and her comes the agnosticism ) that simply defeats the defense's first delaying tactic...they will wriggle and squirm and launch specious arguments for all they ( or donny ) are worth...this trial will doubtlessly be as big, if not bigger, a media circus as the fabled o.j.simpson trial of'95...that howler went on for 252 days...from 24 january 1995 to 3 october 1995 and by the time it was over most of us were weary beyond description of the whole business...will this trial be of that duration...how not? and if it runs as long ( if it does not eclipse that trial's longevity ) where does that leave us...well..and bear in mind the defense wanted to delay this trial until after the election...a 24 may 2024 start date would leave a trial of equal duration ending on 28 february 2025...which is well past the november 2024 election...and 39 days past the 20 january 2025 presidential inauguration date...so a verdict could easily come well past the start of a second term for donny ( if that is how this turns out...nothing is set in stone just yet...and no outcome is inevitable...human agency works in weird ways...do does the natural course of events )...the end result is that simply because the official defense request for a delay past the 2024 election has been rejected there is no guarantee they won't get what they want through legal manouvering...this is all a long way from over...and we are still something like 306 days from the start of a trial...let's ponder what sort events could spew from the sump that is american political life in that amount of time.
