The judge said it was 'unsatisfactory' that the trial was delayed for another 17 months.
James O’Rourke is charged with being behind the wheel of a VW Golf and causing death by dangerous driving in Gipton in February 2021.
He appeared at Leeds Crown Court today where he entered a not-guilty plea. He also denies driving without a licence or insurance. However, due to the lengthy backlog of cases waiting to be heard, he will not stand trial until April 2024.Judge Christopher Batty said: “It’s ridiculous that we are having to list cases in 2024. Everybody in this case wants answers sooner rather than later.Addressing O’Rourke directly, he said: “I’m afraid you can’t be tried until April the year after next, which I know is unsatisfactory.”
