A High Court judge expressed his frustration at the slow pace at which murders cases, especially those involving guns, are being brought to trial, as he declared that the blame for the delays cannot be placed on the courts.The outspoken Justice Carlisle Greaves further suggested that there appeared to be “resistance” to his efforts to have firearm-related murder cases and other gun matters tried.“I have held my peace for some time and I have tried hard . . . but I can’t hold it any longer . . . . I want the public to understand it is not the court’s fault. We want to work. Let the fault go wherever it belongs,” he said on Monday.His comments came as he lamented that there was only one murder matter on a list of 20 cases on the first arraignment session of his No. 3 Supreme Court this year.The judge, who previously served more than 20 years on the bench in Bermuda, issued a call for the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to bring the murder indictments before the court.
