Opinion: Mockery of Justice



Headline: Pakistani scientist found guilty of attempted murder

Our previous article predicted her fate. This was an open and shut case from day one. No matter the weak and non-existent evidence, no matter the disjointed effort from the defense, no matter the jury. This was a case whose outcome was decided long time before anybody set foot in the courtroom

The case was in New York, the city of hate. There is no jury in the entire state of New York that will not convict anybody that has even a shadow or a hint of relationship with terrorism. Right and wrong, guilty and Innocent goes out the window. Nobody will be able to live a day after finding a terrorism suspect not guilty.

The evidence was extremely weak. The bullet holes did not match with the bullets' size and capacity, the prosecution witness has contradicted himself during the testimony, and the judge has shown partiality by barring visitors and other non-sensible things. All the fabricated evidence coming from Afghanistan in the midst of an imposed war was suddenly believable because it serves a purpose. The entire dog and pony show was part of a circus.

Defense was weak and her mental condition did not help her own case. She was never given full access to her defense lawyers. She was tortured in many ways least of which was humiliating strip searches and making mockery of her during the transportation to and from the prison. She had no access to anybody that she could call friend. She should have given the opportunity to recover before put on a show trial. She was a weak woman, a single soul against the tyranny of the entire American justice system. Nobody can win against that when the system does not want you to win and the odds are stacked mile high against you.

Regardless, she was going to be found guilty in New York and not taint its reputation as the city of hate.

They kept her in many prisons throughout all these years but she was strong enough to fend them off and never confessed to anything that she did not do. She was raped and beaten, and one of her kidneys was removed. She was tortured and humiliated. Her kids were taken away from her, they may have even been killed. How can one person suffer so much. How can God let that happen. The wisdom of it escapes all civilized people.

Tonight the scales of justice have tipped, in the wrong direction. Tonight lady justice cries but nobody hears her cries, she sheds tears and nobody can see them. Irony is, knowing that, some people are happy and they ravel in her pain. Tonight America celebrates in the agony of another innocent person's plight and misery not knowing any better.
