Not wrong; I think most people here are in the same boat as @Jenna in that, though understanding the process, are eager to see Pat's smug faggot smile wiped off his face finally.
The two articles linked about the court backlogs are worth a read; Milwaukee has converted one of their civil courts to perform criminal proceedings to help with the felony backlog too, which slows down Pat's case even more. They are fully in crisis mode right now and panicking as the backlog is set to explode the mass dismissals of cases due to violation of defendants' right to a speedy trial. Their emergency $14 mil for the courts has done jack shit and they are not going to care about any civil cases until the criminal backlog is sorted out. Sucks but it is what it is.
Milwaukee gutted its bail system etc. after George Fentanyl Floyd and as a result, there are hundreds of felons with dozens of arrests since 2020 freely on the street, being arrested and insta-released all the time, as they know all well their trials are multiple years away and the charges, however severe, likely dropped long beforehand. There are gang members with multiple separate murder charges freely out on the street 3 years after their arrests due to the court backlog; that unfortunately takes precedence over Pat's failed lolsuit.
One of the 2020 reforms to the WI state constitution barred judges from adding or increasing cash bail based on an offender's perceived danger to the community, as allegedly that is racist and preys on racial stereotypes and was unfairly being used by racist judges who thought black people were more dangerous. Due to reforms like these, gang members with 30 pending cases who get arrested for stabbings walk out of jail that same night.
Milwaukee is a stinking shithole.
Milwaukee's Homicide Rate Renews Debate Over Cash Bail
As Milwaukee sees one of the highest homicide rate spikes in the U.S., police and some activists blame Wisconsin's restrictive bail lawstime.com
Not a lawyer... but those speedy trials, and other concerns are mostly for criminal issues. Civil shit will be delayed but it doesn't go anywhere. Especially judgments. If the creditor cares they can essentially renew that debt for decades. It will never go away. these are short term issues in the grand scheme of things.
