As I notice about the legal system here in the Philippines. There are many cases that is pending before the court. I don't really understand why all of those cases not being pursued for trials since most of this cases is a low profile case...Another case is that if those syndicate doing such a crimes that judge always ask strong evidence even do the authorities seize a sack of shabu (drugs) from those person.

After a few days those criminals is freed from jail because of lack of evidence. I don't know if the number of sack of drugs(shabu) is not sufficient as evidence? On the other hand; hold upper and snatcher is always doing such crimes because of small amount of money they paid for a bail...and if you counted how much they snatch it is much higher that post bail from the jail. That is why they continued doing such crimes because they know they can be freed when they catch by the police authorities...

This is what justice system that I witness here in our country. What about your country. Are you contented on the legal system of the government in your country?

I AGREE with you without much contention because what you have explained is very true in almost all areas. Though I am not content with what is happening in our justice and legal system, yet I can just pray for the improvement and transformation of people who are in authorities that they will fast-track the solving of cases pending in our courts.w00t

The law is not a problem in our justice system but those person posses to be our judge in every crimes being files before them. They are not implementing the real spirit of the law but they implemented what the money incorporated with crimes...The law is clear and no such interpretation being made unless the public is doubt on the ground that a words is very complicated with public safety and security...

Do you think one sack of shabu(drugs) is not sufficient ground to pursue the case or to convict those criminals?

confused Hi Aerous. I think every justice system has its problems. In the US, though, our constitution guarantees a prisoner the right to "speedy" justice or a quick trail by due process if that is what is called for.

I do notice that some people get off more lightly than others, but the laws vary some from state to state unless one is brought to account for federal crimes.

Considering, I think over all, our justice system, even with its flaws, is pretty good.

Karen

Your constitution is very much alike as far as the bills of right is concern. Because our constitution is being emerge from the justice system in your country when our country is under commonwealth act...That the constitution says under art.III of the bills of right and section 16. "All person shall have the right to a speedy disposition of their case before all judicial, quasi-judicial, or administrative bodies...I don't know what articles in your constitution to be found this words but I know they are the same in meaning and ideals...

What make me confuse is that speedy trials is not practice most especially those light offense. Because most of the prisoners is not the real criminals and those real criminals is freed to do another crimes...

Judge and other court officials should be practice under the law of God, not under the law of men...Isn't it?

I'm glad that we will exchange ideas again, karen....

confused This would lead me to think, Aerous, that someone in the system or govt. is falling down on their duty? Or not taking the wording of the constitution seriously? I wonder why that would be. Perhaps there is another explanation, but I do not know what that might be.

Sincerely,
Karen

Hello aerous,

Legal system?...is there any?...that should be your question my friend.

Pending cases,since the time of late presidents in our country,or even before i was born(that i don't know)
Big or small cases,some were given justice but most were not even heared till the victims died,or the accused had already died.(justice not being served and was buried with the person)

It is really sad,good lawyers,intelligent ones...where are they?


myLot reputation of 93/100. aerous (6714)   ranked 215 out of 3,986 in politics  3 years ago

I don't think there is good lawyers in our country because they are conceptualize on how to make money than to make justice.

As many lawyers said that law is the most lucrative profession. Now! I convince that there is no justice for those less privilege in life. Because money is always prevail not justice.
