Judiciary Council calls politicians to stop blaming judges for unpleasant rulings

NL Times  

Henk Naves, the chairman of the Council of Judiciary, called on politicians to stop immediately blame the judge if they find a verdict unpleasant. The Bunker in Amsterdam Osdorp and the Judicial Complex at Schiphol are already overcrowded with cases, and this year will only make matters worse, he said, calling 2020 a year with "unique challenges". There are multiple complex assassination- and undermining crime cases that require serious security measures, especially after the extra measures taken to protect lawyers, judges and prosecutors after defense attorney Derk Wiersum's murder. The trial against the first suspects in the MH17 disaster is also happening this year, a case of unprecedented proportions, Naves said.
