I agree, I find it incredible that such a disfunctional courts/legal system with such obvious flaws in it's operations is not the subject of an enquiry and major overhaul.

Just from the delays point of view this courts/legal system is very obviously in very bad shape. If we add in the lack of transparency, proper documented procedures available for the public to view, proper sentencing guidlines, past corruption (maybe present corruption), as well as the accused rights taking precedence over the victims and publics safety regarding bail - then we have a mickey mouse courts/legal system, which only benefits the lawyers judges and crinimals, at the expense of the victims and general public.
