Ruth Money: Victims advocate on the introduction of time frame goals in the justice system - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

A victims' advocate says new measures to address court backlogs are doable if all players in the system play their part.  

The Chief District Court Judge has introduced maximum waiting times based on the seriousness of the crime.

Independent victims' advocate Ruth Money told Mike Hosking that the courts are jammed and delayed. 

She says people have their lives on hold waiting.
