A Recipe for Total Annihilation

Trinidad Express Newspapers: News | Judges must declare assets

“Members of the public must have confidence in the integrity of the justice system. They should not perceive the system to be unfair and corrupt. It need not be a perfect system for mistakes could honestly be made. But it is critical that the justice system be perceived by the public to be a fair one, and not one in which its members twirl to the seductive rustling of bank notes promised or given as an inducement or reward for a particular decision,” - Senior Counsel Pamela Elder.

May I remind Senior Counsel Pamela Elder that this is not a game of sorts where the losers can recover quickly by just throwing a dice. This is not just a "fender bender". This is a human life we are talking about; "mistakes could honestly be made"??? "that the justice system be perceived by the public to be a fair one"???. There should never be no mistakes! And the justice system must be fair and justified! Let us not be oblivious of the fact that an entire family would also be affected by this and by extension the home, the society. This will come back and haunt us in ways we can never imagine. Already the system we have; where there are so many checks and balances, puts innocent persons behind bars. Could one imagine a system where there are no checks and balances? This is a recipe for total annihilation.
