the prosecution said that they would need 2 weeks to present their case so the duration was likely to be 3 weeks, so the court then needs to schedule on that basis. Also the defense (and prosecution) need time to prepare, collect all the evidence that is then reviewed by either side ... it all takes time. I think the seriousness of the charges also have a bearing on the time frame
