Odds are the accelerated schedule is due to the likely target of the charges aggressively threatening the witness list. Only so many people involved in the prosecution, the judge & jury, and every known witness can have elevated security measures.
As the threats broaden, eventually it’s not economical to put security on everyone. Instead, maybe (hear me out) we should put the threat itself into some kind of secure facility so the public writ large is protected? I know it’s a crazy idea, but maybe the courts will actually do something about it at some point or another.
