"Unfortunately, justice suffers when it's delayed," Lehigh County Judge Kelly L. Banach said, via the Allentown Morning Call.

Banach spent four days listening to arguments from attorneys on both sides and testimony from expert witnesses. She said that, ultimately, her decision was based on her own interactions with Snuka, now 73.
