BC Provincial court backlog So I find this beyond frustrating...maybe more so than the actually bullshit sentences handed out by our justice system. This one is obviously a little closer to home for me as I knew Charlene...but the articles also discuss how this actually happens quite often. 'Disgusting' court backlog may free hit and run accused - British Columbia - CBC News Hit and run victim's family fears accused will walk - News - MSN CA And somebody help me understand this...I, unfortunately, do not know exactly how our court system works. How is it that they are already processing the Canuck Rioters and issuing charges of there is a huge backlog of cases such as the one above? I can only hope it is dependent on the type of crime and not the fact that Christy Clark pushed the rioters through the system first as a political move. It also angers me that Clark states that, "I share the frustration that every British Columbian feels when we see delays and when we see stays in the justice system. It's not right. It's not working. I'm really frustrated about that" when she does have some form of control over the situation. I am a little at a loss for words... |
In a catch and release, zero accountability society like we have a court backlog is absolutely no surprise. |

as for court backlogs this is an issue in every province and every country especially with cases involving more than 1 lawyer, scheduling is 1 reason why and its insane it ends up creating a build up mix in evidence filings, voire dires, holidays, etc, etc is why cases can take years to deal with |

So wait... everyone has been setting their hair on fire that it took months and months to even start charging the rioters, let alone get any of them into court... now with the backlog, it's such a shocking, terrible thing that they've been processed so "quickly"?? http://i0.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/...jpg?1308197678 |
^ no dude....dont get me wrong. I am totes for the rioters being processed as soon as possible....but at what cost. It is obviously naive of me not to fully understand how the courts work and how common backlogs are....my argument is, is that if the only reason we are processing these rioter ASAP is for a political reason, it is wrong. If you ask me if I care that this riot bullshit takes longer because we are dealing with more serious crime, not one bit. I'd much rather see the riot cases thrown out than murders, assaults, manslaughters, drug crimes, etc...it needs to be prioritized. |

LOL what do u expect when the gov cut funding. |
I just wish there was someone in power who could actually manage our tax money responsibly and efficiently. I think our system and every other system needs an overhaul. So much money is being wasted at so many levels Posted via RS Mobile |
My favorite is the fact that legal aid lawyers are pissed about the cuts...money that is collected and paid for by "for profit" lawyers. It's a no-brainer that it should be fully funded, but gets raided to pay for more gimmes. |
