If the judge makes any mistakes in law, their verdict will just get overturned. Judges should also be not making snap decision based on how they feel that day on the last day.

It’s not as simple as “guilty” or “not guilty” and leave it at that.

Do judges typically have more than one case on their plate at any given time? In other words is she fully focused on just this single case or is it typical to be writing judgements on multiple cases simultaneously?
Also this is really in essence 5 cases all being tried at once, correct? She is really judging 5 defendants independently and writing 5 individual judgments.
July 24 seems quite reasonable and actually quite quick to me.
