"Prosecutors and Dotcom’s lawyers agreed to the delay" - Washington Post

Looks like his lawyers sold him out.

An earlier story quoted his lawyers saying that a delay was pretty much inevitable, they totally saw it coming and expected it. Kim then went whining to twitter about how the US is using "delay tactics".

How do you equate that sentence with him being sold out?

Shouldn't he have had his lawyers protest the delay so he can be quickly exonerated by his overwhelming innocence.

He had 2 options:

1. Agree to the trial being delayed for 9 months so the US can return the evidence... which really should only take a couple days

2. Go forward with the trial without the evidence proving he's innocent.

I really wouldn't say they sold him out
