So there are lots of people, in this country, who are detained in the prisons, who are waiting to stand trial. There are cases where they are detained for longer before the trial then the maximum amount of time available when it comes to sentencing what they were accused of.
Apparently it is to punish them for not pleading guilty.
Chris Hipkins (minister of everything) will out and say things every now and then about the 'Court of Popular Opinion'. He doesn't seem to have the most basic grasp on the role or the function of the courts etc.
There are also asylum seekers who are having their application processed (or not) who we keep in prison for years and years...
So that is how we populate the prisons. So that it's soooooooooooo competitive. So the Judges can't possibly put the rapist-psychiatrists in the prisons. Because after they've populated the prisons with people waiting to stand trial (innocent until proven guilty is not something that our government or our courts seem to believe about people they take a.. Policital.. Dislike to. I suppose it's political. The forced compliance.

Anyway...
They are saying that with the Covid preventing new jury trials... They have been unable to clear any of that backlog either.
Their excuse is that the AV court hearings (they were having the people in prison appear before the courts via AVL only) can't happen because the AVL rooms in the prisons are too busy with the peple in prison talkity talk talk talking to their lawyers all the time.
So the AVL links in the prisons aren't ebign used for trials. And they won't get the prisoners into the courts...
Because the judges don't want to get Covid.
Becaues they know the doctors would immobilise them on ventillators and likely harvest their antibodies and sell them to rich americans.
Etc.
F*ck*ng farce
