they might be prolonging the case to make Jesse think he's fucked and take a plea deal. They need to release the tapes from GX. All we are seeing is the security guards side and his story of how he fished. What about Jesse's story and his tapes?
That's a possibility I suppose.

5 days for an assault case seems like a long time. Are there any new details? Either side close to wrapping?
Must be complications with the case if 5 days is a long time. Three different charges, each charge could take some time to go through one by one maybe? Or there's problems with the charges and evidence against Jesse and it's difficult to convict him?
I thought there's a charge for an accidental death or accidental permanent damage in a fight, maybe something is going on with that? I don't think he got charged with anything like that...
The don't run through each charge one by one, the prosecutor will file all related charges which pertain to the evidence they have and the likelihood of conviction.
Usually they will over charge, something like 5-6 charges and come with a plea deal for a lesser charge to make the defendant feel like they made it out light. Often times you will see charges that look similar i.e. assault, assault w/ deadly weapon, assault with intent to cause bodily harm, aggravated assault. Then the judge or jury listen to all the evidence in the case and decide which charge fits, could be more than one charge (which would increase sentencing) or none of the evidence fits any of the charges enough to convict.
That is why I feel like this is a long trial, there can't be this much evidence. And witnesses shouldn't take very long. Usually lengthy trials come from having witnesses up multiple days trying to prove premeditated.
Just feels strange to me, prosecutor must really want this one. Wants to make an example.
