“How can anybody have any confidence in the administration of justice in this building?” defence lawyer Lon Rose asked in court Friday.
wasn’t already facing enough challengesThe Star witnessed two very busy courtrooms targeted and suddenly flooded with people making racist and Nazi remarks, playing loud music, and displaying pornographic videos.
The new Ontario Court of Justice courthouse on Armoury Street, near Dundas Street West and University Avenue, has been plagued by issues since it started hearing cases last month that threaten to jeopardize criminal matters moving through the backlogged system. The result is trials having to be adjourned, adding delay that could lead to cases eventually being tossed for violating a person’s constitutional right to a trial within a reasonable time, and leaving victims without any sense of justice.
The man was set to stand trial for failing to appear in court, a matter that would have likely taken just a few hours. “He’s appeared and the justice system seems not to be able to appear for him,” Rose said. Rose floated that a potential remedy would be to ask the Superior Court to review the denial of his client’s bail “and blame how bad the system is as the basis for getting it.”
