Well this is just getting ridiculous now isn't it? She's been in the slammer for more than 2 years now and every time they just keep postponing the trial?

Had no idea that was the case. I thought I had seen new scenes with her, so maybe they released scenes already shot. I can say with Covid, no on is in a hurry to adjudicate cases and I would assume a case of her caliber is one that the courts are also willing to defer.
Gotta love that "justice" system. They're on what 2 and a half years? Closing in on 3 without even having a trial?
Doubt we'll ever see this godess in front of the camera again, worst of all her and her husband have lost so much time behind bars and you have to wonder that the hell is going on here?
I'm sure that Aug 6 will come and trial will once again be postponed, like WTF?!
It is bs, but then again we have never had a global pandemic in our life like this which has complicated everything & also her & the guy have been delaying as well.
This is not right. EVERY American is permitted to have a quick trial by a jury of her peers. What if she is innocent? How is she going to get back three years of her life?

Accused should not be seen as convict.
I stand with Mercedes Carrera and wish her the very best.
"Mercedes Carrera Pretrial Date Postponed to 2022"
Postponed until January 28 2022.
"The new pretrial date moves forward the probable date for the actual trial to late March, over three years after Carrera and her husband were arrested on February 1, 2019."
Where's the baby? I mean in those three years where did the baby live?
I can't believe they gave her baby to foster care for three long years , nor I could believe they gave such baby to the father , that would be a sentence already , where's the well being of the minors comes first?
^^ So basically while the mother is in jail still waiting a PRE-TRIAL the father got what he wanted and is brainwashing the baby since while the Judge still allows THREE YEARS LONG detention without a due process
Lol. Look up Curtis Flowers. Remuneration is determined state by state. Curtis Flowers, incarcerated in Mississippi, received 500K, but if he had been incarcerated in Texas he would have received 1.7 million. There are also cases where someone is exonerated or gets parole and remains in prison for months and sometimes years. It's infuriating, depressing, traumatizing. Living in the state with the highest incarceration rate in the country starts to get to you. (And yes that means the highest *in the world*).

^^The case should be dismissed in accordance with Strunk v. United States. I don't know if Mercedes and her husband committed the crimes they've been accused of or not, but their sixth amendment rights have been grossly violated and on that basis alone they should be freed.
Does the presumption of innocence until proven guilty still apply in the US? If so, keeping someone locked up for three years prior to trial, however serious the allegations against them, strikes me as inhuman.

I'm starting to think the state just doesn't have a case on her and knows they have a lawsuit coming. It's been three years now, isn't there something about "due process" and a speedy trial. I'm no lawyer or anything, just saying
It's an absolute travesty, I hope she sues them for a boat load of money when this is over. Also hope and pray she comes back to porn, nobody quite like her.
Assuming this thing finally goes to trial in January (which it probably won't), Mercedes and her husband will have been in jail for nearly FOUR YEARS without a trial! That alone is a miscarriage of justice!
I don't know about the US system, but in the UK, any time on remand would be added to time served. It wouldn't be entirely shocking if she was released at the end of the trial, whether she's found guilty or not, since she's already spent so much time behind bars.
Just another example of how the criminal justice system is unfair. She has been in jail for five years without having had a trial by a jury of her peers. THIS IS WRONG!
This extended wait cannot be good for their case, or they would be appealing to the ACLU and like-minded organizations for assistance.
Could the strategy be waiting out a statute of limitations on the charges? Like sit in county jail for 10 years and then the charges get dropped due to SOL? I don't know how that even works. But sitting in jail for 4.5 years without a trial is insanity.
