I cannot fathom ,why the Australian government has not appointed .some one to intervene in this case, seems to me there should be some representation, for this young man
1. The experts did not ask for more time. They just did not turn up. The have been subpoened again with a threat of a fine.
2. You mention the original bail judge calling him aggressive but have not mentioned the detailed psychological report subsequently presented in court that states he is not of an aggressive nature
3 The postponments have been predominately because witnesses do not turn up and also when for 5 months a member of the judge's panel went overseas!!
4 It is common practice in Bulgaria for a close family member to be appointed to the defence team. There was no 'demand'
5 Why has there been no discussion on why the system allows one of the group of boys who was involved in the fighting to be represented as a civil claimant giving him the right to block vital evidence that is in the defendant's favour (despite the very obvious conflict of interest, he is asking for 50000 lev !!!
