To a certain extent, you really do not want to rush legal proceedings because we've spent hundreds of years of common law precedence making really big deals out of minute details. Court cases can be won on even the smallest of details or slip-ups, and that can have far-reaching consequences for either side.

But yeah, other than that, 100% we should be having more judges presiding over more cases to prevent timing out criminal cases.

I think it's fair to say that there are a lot of cases that can be expedited without the need to drag them along.

The problem with our current justice system (at least in its current state) is that it HIGHLY favours criminals.

Rapists walking free, drunk drivers getting their fourth or fifth "warning", people being arrested for crimes while breaching a previous court order, people murdering cyclists and getting off with a minor traffic ticket, etc.

With more judges, a more efficient process, and more Crown prosecutors, hopefully things will move along more quickly. That won't happen unless our government gets their priorities straight.

Either way, victims should always come first; society second; criminals last.
