    Uh, no, not true. Justice delayed is justice delayed. Justice denied is justice denied. It almost always gets delayed over something or another, just because proving a case as best you can is difficult and complex, and often changes mid-process.

    And you do want proof to be important, justice isn’t something you want Kyle Rittenhouse types just winging on their own.

    That was justice denied, right there. Delayed is fine sometimes though.

    It’s important to remember that efficiency is not always what you want most. You want accuracy and precision too, and a balance somewhere between these competing priorities is necessary.

      If you delay justice long enough, it becomes generational injustice. Non-white, non-male civil rights over the course of US history is an example of this.
