That danger with that is prosecutors rushing cases through, messing something up, and letting the defendant go free on a technicality.
Or steam rolling cases and imprisoning defendants who are innocent.
The latter isn’t rare already, wait until some prosecutor has to get a few fast cases done so their bosses don’t cut their pay check.
- consider the actual effects on someone to be involved in a legal process; for lawyers it's just a workday but for people it's heavy to be accused of a crime and to wait for something awful (jail) to happen.
- define some time reasonable time constraints for everything, in order to give some incentives for the process to speed up. Prosecutors could be measured by how efficient cases go, and paying out some money could be an option.
