Pampering Criminals

A Supreme Court Justice's admission that his office erred in executing an inmate convicted for alledgedly raping a minor - his stepdaughter - has raised hackles. Not to be outdone, a senator said that he is sponsoring a bill that would compensate the convict's heirs with a cool 10 million pesos (around 200 grand in US currency) for the wrongful execution. That money can be better spent helping victims of rape and domestic violence rebuild their lives.
Jeez. The country's leaders do not only know how to run the country properly, they are also clueless on how to dispense justice equally. The guy was convicted for alledgely raping a minor, but they eered on a technicality- the favorite tool of the accused in escaping jail time. If you are busted by law enforcers, tell your lawyers to hunt for flaws in the cops' method, and you can go free to murder, peddle drugs by the tons, ravage more women and kids again, etc, etc.
And the poor cops who bungled the raid? They would be admonished for their ignorance, and I can't blame them for wishing that they pumped some lead on the dirtbag's body instead of hauling him to jail alive. This kind of justice system only emboldens the criminals and frightens their victims from suing, from demanding justice.
