By adding that 'but', you show you are not all for due process, since you actually argue against it in the rest of your post.

So I think it would be more accurate had you started that statement with I'm not all for due process because...

the def of due process: fair treatment through the normal judicial system, especially a citizen's entitlement to notice of a charge and a hearing before an impartial judge.

how is due process not being served if the defendent has  stated that he wants to end the trial as soon as possible? a lengthy trial will do nothing but cause pain for the families of the victims. if there is incontrovertible evidence and a confession, then just sentence him and get it over with.

Ahh, now we have posters claiming we don't even need the due process of law.

That bodes well for the citizens of a country. Sacrifice the rights of the people in order to save a few bucks.

Due to the mass of evidence, his trial is expected to take a long time before a ruling is made,
