ubaiyat author Omar Khayyam obviously never sat in on Ganges provincial court. In Ganges court, it seems, the R moving finger rarely writes and almost never seems to move on. Like a skipping record, the refrain repeats through defendant after defendant: / didn't have time to get a lawyer. I have a meeting with legal aid next week. My lawyer isn't here. Legal aid turned me down. I don't have a copy of the charges ... an endless litany of delay that cycles month after month. Yet most defendants have ample time to get their legal affairs in order. Unless someone has been arrested and is immediately brought before a judge to obtain release, the average time be tween offence and the first court appearance is two to three months. Since the Ganges court only sits for one or two days a month a single remand equals another four-week delay. It is not unusual to see cases which have been remanded every month for a year or more. Miss a trial date — as a number of the worst offenders do — and the process can often be delayed for a further six months. Often, when the matter reaches the 18-month mark, the defendant's lawyer will argue that the delay has reached the point where it infringes upon the right of the accused to a speedy trial and the charges should be dismissed. Sometimes the judge agrees. Procrastination pays off. The obliging court system is a perfect example of giving rights without demanding responsibility. We are fortunate in the legal rights which are guaranteed in Canada: we are less for tunate in that there are those who will take advantage of those rights. This techno-junkie wants The casual regard in which many repeat offenders hold the court system was illustrated last week by two defendants.
