Answer to Question 2

Court delay is seen as a problem for one of three reasons: because it works to the disadvantage of the prosecutor, it jeopardizes the rights of defendants, and it wastes resources. Support for the most important problem being the disadvantage of the prosecutor may identify that crime control is most important, the rights of defendants argument may focus on due process, and the wasted resources may identify the limited dollars and manpower available to the courts.
