FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Queensland’s Chief Justice Paul de Jersey has called on the state government to urgently appoint a new judge to help clear a backlog of homicide cases.
Justice de Jersey has told The Courier-Mail recent reforms to reduce delays in the legal system had minimal impact on the Supreme Court.
“If a criminal case were to become ready to proceed to trial in the Supreme Court today, the earliest available trial dates would be in the first half of next year,” he said.
He said one reason for that was that more homicide cases were going to trial.
There had also been a number of very long running cases in recent years, and hold ups with forensic testing were also causing delays, he said.
Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie told the paper the Government was looking seriously at the number of matters before the courts, including the clearance rates.
But he refused to commit to a new judge, citing the mountain of debt Queensland had been left with after years of Labor’s financial mismanagement.
The parents of Sunshine Coast teenager Daniel Morcombe say they’re feeling frustrated, 10 months on from the arrest of Brett Peter Cowan, who is accused of their son’s murder.
“We always knew it took a long time for everything (to move through the court system) so we know we will have to wait years for any finality,” Mrs Morcombe said.
