A MAGISTRATE has expressed frustration with the Office of Director of Public Prosecutions for “wasting the court’s time”, during the sentencing of a man on drug charges this week.
When charges left over from a sentencing matter heard in Brisbane Supreme Court were instead referred back to Ipswich Magistrates Court to be dealt with it, it clearly caused the magistrate some annoyance on what was already a busy day.
Nigel Grant Earley, 49, from Bundamba, appeared from jail via video-link before the Ipswich court and pleaded guilty to nine charges that included drug and utensil possession offences, and a breach of his bail.
