Judge slams delay in charging man over 2020 prison riot in Canberra, sparing him extra jail time
An ACT Supreme Court judge has spared a man more jail time after taking aim at what she said was an egregious delay in prosecuting him over a 2020 riot at Canberra's jail. On Thursday Justice Louise Taylor told the court the delay in charging him was "outrageous". The judge noted that Collier appeared to have been successful in working towards rehabilitation and addressing his drug addictions in jail, while he waited on the sentence now knowing the end date. "There's an incongruity between the seriousness of the crime … and the leisurely progress of the criminal justice system … that years passed before this matter first appeared in court."
