Legal proceedings are slow.  Sixty days to look into this; 30 more days to look into that.  It's frustrating.

Original trial was Jan 2016...

Tommy Monk wrote:That is besides the point... and not necessarily the case here.

The point I'm making is that this was an extremely heinous attack in September 2015... the woman was facing trial in January 2016 (although not for murder at this point because the victim had survived the attack and was alive up until Jan 2017)... and I would have expected that she was either already in custody on remand or still serving prison sentence now from original court case...

But I read that she had only now been remanded into custody...

Dutch national Mark van Dongen, 29, was left with 80% burns and paralysed after being attacked in Bristol in September 2015. He died earlier this month.

I read that she had now been remanded into custody... although she was originally in court for the attack back in January 2016...

How fast should it take?  Why do you think it didn't go faster?  What substantive facts do you have to back up your position?
