With more than 400 cases on the Supreme Court Calendar for 2009 and only two Nassau judges hearing criminal matters it’s easy to imagine the kind of backlog that leaves accused persons stuck in jail waiting for their trial to begin.
In Freeport there are more than 70 cases on the calendar and one justice hearing criminal matters.
The workload puts tremendous pressure on government legal professionals and leads to suspects getting bail sooner than they otherwise would.
