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

...I don’t think she’ll be kept in solitary confinement for the entire year and definitely not with things like the light on 24hrs a day/paper clothing/no bedding etc...It’s a bit confusing because I’m sure I read somewhere that she had a ‘roomie’ already...and both of those things can’t be true, that she has a roomie and that she’s in a solitary unit...

ITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Federal officials were so worried Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime confidant Ghislaine Maxwell might take her own life after her arrest that they took away her clothes and bedsheets and made her wear paper attire while in custody, an official familiar with the matter told the Associated Press.
The steps to ensure Maxwell’s safety while she’s locked up at a federal jail in New York extend far beyond the measures federal officials took when they first arrested her in New Hampshire last week.

The Justice Department has added extra security precautions to help prevent other inmates from harming her and to stop her from harming herself, the official said. Protocols put in place include ensuring that Maxwell has a roommate in her cell, that she is monitored and that someone is always with her while she’s behind bars, said the official, who could not discuss the ongoing investigation publicly and spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
