is this correct?
Yes, the sentence "He read that 'it took more than two years...for the case to be tried in court and a verdict to be reached.'" is correct in using ellipsis to indicate that some material has been omitted from the quoted text.
Ellipsis is properly placed in the middle of the quotation to indicate that there is a gap where additional text exists but is not being quoted.
