The writer should use an ellipsis instead of a comma to convey a sense of hesitation or uncertainty in their statement.
Answered by GPT 3.5
The ellipsis in the paragraph is used to indicate an omission rather than a pause. This is evident from the use of the ellipsis to indicate that the actual duration between the case being tried in court and a verdict being reached is longer than the stated "two years".

To show possession for singular nouns, add an apostrophe followed by an "s" after the noun (e.g., "the dog's bone"). For plural nouns ending in "s," simply add an apostrophe after the "s" (e.g., "the dogs' bones"). To form contractions, place an apostrophe in place of omitted letters (e.g., "don't" for "do not").
