I agree with the witness. Frankly, I think it came as a surprise to everybody. While we are on the issue of bail, Mr. Waters mentioned the revolving door. Some people would suggest that the issue of cases not being heard for years almost forces the Judiciary to grant bail in almost every circumstance. That is the reason Mr. Waters mentioned one particular case that occurred in the courts recently. Is it not as harmful that the system is that clogged up with cases being heard or not being heard for years in some cases? Is that not as damaging as the revolving door issue?
