Except if the crime was done against the rich/powerful, then it all gets done in 3 years or much less, including the media outcry and even finding a scapegoat if need be.

The system is designed to not waste resources on non-rich vs non-rich crimes whilst also providing an additional option for when the rich are the perpetrators (in case it gets that far).
