Jodie Campbell’s husband Michael Green suffered severe head injuries when he was attacked in a violent home invasion three years ago.

Mr Green, 47, who was initially given a 5 per cent chance of survival, has not been able to speak since the ordeal and can no longer work.

The case against his attackers is still before the courts, angering Ms Campbell.

“It’s a subject close to my heart,” she said.

“But it’s not just us, there are thousands of people out there who are sill waiting for their cases to finish.”

Ms Campbell said a quicker process would help victims of crime get over their ordeals.

“The victims of crime deserve an ending,” she said.

“To be able to move forward, you need closure.”

Ms Campbell has started a Facebook group about court delays, which has more than 1000 members – many who share their stories of court delays and vent their frustration online.

She said a rally through Ballarat and ending on the steps of the courthouse would send a message to policy-makers.

This comes after a Ballarat criminal lawyer last week called for dramatic changes to the court system after becoming frustrated by ongoing delays.

Scott Belcher told The Courier he wants penalties to be incurred for lawyers and clients who cause unnecessary delay.

“Court lists continue to grow, so we need a fast flowing list of cases dealt with by the magistrates,” he said.

“And to ensure this happens we may need to consider imposing financial disincentives against the small group of lawyers and their clients across Victoria who cause massive bottle necks and blow outs in court lists with too many adjournments.”

Ms Campbell has not set a date or route for her march, but has called for anyone interested to get in contact via the Facebook group “where’s the justice 2008-2011” or call her on
