Delayed Justice: Mountain West Court Backlogs Leave Defendants In Limbo


Originally published on May 14, 2021 12:29 pm
Christopher Gauntlett was incarcerated at the Washoe County Detention Facility in Nevada for 525 days, waiting for his trial.
“A lot of stuff happens in there that’s not right, but there was nothing I could do about it, so I had to stay in there,” he said. “It hurts.”
Delays came from pandemic lockdowns, but also when a witness got COVID-19. They kept telling Gauntlett he’d go to court soon, and it kept getting pushed back.
“It was kind of miserable, you know?” he said. “A lot of stress, a lot of pain.”
At the same time, he said COVID-19 was all around him.
