LAS VEGAS (CN) — Bundy family bodyguard Brian D. Cavalier is not entitled to a speedy trial due to the complexity of the case against him, U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro ruled Monday ...

1. Bummer, dude

Got involved in a hare-brained criminal enterprise so complex that you're going to have to sit around in jail (at least you're the sovereign of your cell) and twiddle your thumbs while the lawyers sort through all the evidence against you. A little more bad news: Unlike you, the prosecutors are thorough-going professionals who know what they're doing. You are so screwed.
