Judge slams 'collapsed' justice system as he lets thugs walk free because case took three years to go to court
A JUDGE has slammed the justice system after he was forced to let three violent thugs go free because their case took three years to go to court.
He said he had to take into account how long they had been awaiting trial for what he described as a "straight-forward case." The judge said: "There is a feature of this case I cannot ignore. This case took two years and nine months to go before this court. That is a disgrace. That is not in any way your fault.
Judge Carr said that there is no doubt that the victim in the case owed them money that was borrowed and that police took no action."Therefore you sought community resolution," he said. "I accept entirely that there is a well-established practice in the Bangladeshi community where people have meetings with those respected by the community to get to the bottom of disputes.
