NEW PORT RICHEY (FOX 13) -

It's not something you hear from the judicial bench -- ever. But Circuit Judge Pat Siracusa did not hold back: "A right to a trial is not a right to a perfect trial," he said.
But the judge wasn't done.
"Perfect is tough.  You're not gonna get perfect.  We're gonna get as close as we can, but I'm not going to wait forever," continued Siracusa.
Legal analyst and defense attorney Anthony Rickman says, while the justice system is imperfect, it doesn't mean attorneys shouldn't strive for perfection.
"As a member of the legal system, we should demand perfection," he said.
If not, you're asking for problems down the road.
"We have to make sure, as a system, that Mr. Reeves is getting a fair trial.  He only gets one shot at this and if goes in front of a jury and he hasn't had a chance to prepare his case, it's gonna come back," said Rickman.
