Long Criminal Investigations Favor The Prosecution: Hire Your Defense Attorney Early
Sometimes an arrest happens quickly because the crime happens with lots of witnesses and there's plenty of evidence to be had. However, in a lot of serious criminal trials, investigations are handled slowly and carefully. Police and prosecutors don't rush to make an arrest or even forcibly detain someone until they feel that they either have overwhelming amounts of evidence or need to do so in the interest of public safety and justice.
