The court building seemed to be in decent condition and, after 10 minutes queueing at security (the machine beeped for everyone) we were shown up to the witness suite. It had comfy chairs, a TV, working toilets and water - no complaints.

I can't praise the staff and volunteers enough - they did a fantastic job of talking us through everything and answering our questions. Their frustration with the lack of funding for the courts system was clear, but they were helpful and understanding. (2/3) 

 I guess the outcome was predictable. The trial was originally scheduled for 3 hours, but the defence wanted all the video/audio evidence played in full, which meant it would take a day or more. That meant re-scheduling the trial, so we'll be back in August 2024.

It's 2 years since the incident and we've now got a 10 month delay. Overall, I saw a dedicated staff, volunteers and legal representatives working in a system that's under-funded and struggling to deliver justice to anyone. (3/3)
