Some of the issues I can see still being discussed/hammered out are things like media access, assignment of a judge, court/judge/counsel schedules, electronic submission of evidence, streaming the session live etc.
I assume the prosecution are trying to still wade thru the massive amount of evidence. They are probably also attempting to obtain electronic records from various email providers, websites etc. Given the sheer volume of the evidence, they have to pick out all the key stuff for sure. A lot of it would be babble and have no relevance to the case.
The amount they have to go through is mitigated by the length of time Nazi chick knew the two virgins. They probably only have to really start there for most part. Will be interesting once we know if they just said one night lets shoot up a mall, or if they spent months planning it.
I also expect that if they don't cut a deal and this goes to trial, it should surpass the Trivial Pursuit trial here in NS. That case, known as
Wall v. Horn, was reallll long. From the headnote of the decision:

Link to decision if any of you colleagues in law wish to have a read. Dude tried to sue inventors saying he told them idea for game.
