What you have to understand is that after people are arrested in Cambodia they may be detained in jail for a long time. Only the important people (with money/connections) get their cases heard rapidly.
Some of these cases take YEARS before they get to court. If you think that's crazy, then think how the accused people in pre-trial detention must feel. 2-3 years is not unsual.

Last year, the Cambodian justice system announced that they were speeding up the cases of pre-trial accused: newsworthy/interior-minister-says-priso ... 38457.html
From 2020:

According to statistics released by Sar Kheng in March, there are currently 39,000 detainees in Cambodian prisons, around 11,000 of which have been convicted of a crime, leaving more than two-thirds of the total inmates on pre-trial detention.
