Yup, that's what I've heard too. The whole thing is still insane, but at least some of the delay is on her end...although it sounds like her lawyers have screwed her (no, not like that) a few times too. She's delayed things...but so has everyone else.
It's still wild she's been in jail for six years...and they've dropped many of the original charges, too, as I understand.
It's crazy, too. I'm all for protecting children, and if they did abuse the child they can burn in hell, but it seems like a bunch of this was just 'stuff happened, and there was a child nearby,' so they tacked on a bunch of modifiers. There was a gun and drugs in the house...so the gun became illegal because of the drugs, and both became worse because there was a child in the vicinity. And then a bunch of shit was taken out of context, I believe.
Again, if they actually harmed the child, they can rot. But the courts are so far from proving that it's absurd. I haven't kept a close eye on this but, as I recall, it was basically a bit of a sketchy environment, which led to what was essentially a (post)marital dispute getting really out of hand.
The father became a born-again religious type, and the case was brought in one of the harshest, most corrupt, shithole mafia court districts in California for a reason. I believe the father and the lead prosecutor in the case knew each other somehow too. I want to say it was that they played golf at the same club for years.
That does sound vaguely familiar, although it's been a long time since I checked into any of that. What a mess, though.
