The Liam Porter trial process had been delayed numerous times so that the complainant would get fed up and withdraw her complaint. The complainant could not keep making herself available for dates throughout the coming years for them to be a waste of time, so she decided to tell the court that her availability to attend court on the trial dates proposed was not possible.
