   No. There are no guarantees in this life, and that's too big a thing 
to bet on. I'm sure somewhere there's a limit on the length of time a 
judge can take to hand down a decision. Right? It's still 2 years and 2 
weeks until the next presidential election, remember... And a good 27 
months before anyone elected there would take office. I know a case can 
drag on for years and years with appeals and motions and hearings, but 
nearly three years for one judge to make a PUNISHMENT ruling with no 
other variables? What about the Sixth Amendment, "In all criminal 
prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public 
trial..." ? A corporation is considered a person, so the same should 
apply. I just don't see how any judge can justify a delay of that length. 
She's splitting hairs, not waiting on a new administration.
