No, it isnt unusual. I imagine his arraignment will be before 30-60 days after the indictment was rendered by the GJ. The DA has a certain amount of days before he has to decide if the case is going to be a death penalty case.
There are certain cases though that the DA will refuse a plea even if they want to plea for LWOP and this may be just one of those cases. It is one of the heinous I have heard about recently and all of this brutality happened to a minor child of 7 years old. All 13 charges against him shows this is a DP case, imo.
I have found that pedophile/murderers are the least likely to plea even though the evidence is overwhelming against them. Such as with Richard Allen Davis, Joesph Duncan, John Couey.
They tend to want to deny their evil deeds and never accept accountability even when the evidence shows they were gulity as the sins they committed.
If this does become a DP case it will not come to trial for about 3 years from now. The mass murder case in Brunswick, Georgia happened the first of September 2009 and will be going to trial sometime during the summer or fall of 2012.
IMO
What is consider a speedy trial by law?...How long to trial?
