Rough justice

Idiom

Something that happens to you that is severe or unfair.

It seems like rough justice that he should lose his house as well as his wife.

Cambridge Dictionary
Prosecutor Jerry Hayes: “It’s just sheer incompetence.”
 

This is ‘The End of Normal’.

Justice and reality come face to face! 

It cannot be explained or justified.

Unforgivable acts.

2 A Devilish Construction

Transcript of video 1 at minute 1:53

“The night of the Pioneer hotel fire 16 year-old Louis Taylor was helping people escape.

You were considered a hero that night.

Yeah but they changed it all because of the colour of my skin.
You know I hate to say that, you know especially

it was a little coloured boy,

that Negro boy and they singled me out.

How does that happen in America and we were supposed to have the best justice system in the world.

Can someone explain that to me?   Nobody explained that to me.”

What Louis Taylor tells goes through the heart.

The patterns of injustice imbedded in the justice system.

Unjustly convicted as a 16-year-old child

and imprisoned for 41 years without reason.

“Taylor says he intends to spend the rest of his days

just living and doing good things.”

 

Notice: Liam Allan escaped from a 10-year prison sentence

by the skin of his teeth,

thanks to Prosecutor Jerry Hayes,

who stated, ‘It’s just sheer incompetence.’

In human language ‘it was botched justice’.

Using justice to create a false image.

The gateway to a deceitful society.

The way in which 16-year-old Louis Taylor ends up

in prison for 41 years…

Putting the blame on someone who has done nothing wrong.

Justice is a paradox

The reality surpasses fiction

De realiteit overtreft de fictie

Throughout the website, we need a much more grown-up approach

to the pain carried by all these human beings when we learn their stories.

Truth be told

They knew about its flaws but continued a campaign

of hounding Post Office Masters and Mistresses.

3 It was abhorrent and it shouldn’t have happened that these people were innocent behind bars:

25 years Innocent behind bars

39 years Innocent behind bars

30 years Innocent behind bars

6 years Innocent behind bars

10 years Innocent behind bars

7 to 13 years innocent behind bars

9 boys 13 to 17 years old – innocent behind bars

Age 14, Executed innocent via electric chair!!!!

43 years Innocent behind bars

 

Innocent behind bars is

Horrible
Inconceivable
Inconprehensible
Unthinkable

Those innocent people have been through a 

living hell

being in prison for something they did not do.

In other words:

it is a legal system that is decidedly wrong.

This is no longer justice

Other forces are at play

This is nonsense

Something is wrong

This list of 9 examples is not an exception.

The National Registry of Exonerations,

which tracks known exonerations in the United States, lists

3,615 individuals who have been exonerated since 1989.

  1. We see that the number of acquittals is on the rise.
  2. The way people were convicted is disturbing. It is beyond rational comprehension. It is a pressing question:
    1. how can you convict people, considering that they were not present?
  3. It shows that justice is not making the right decisions.
  4. An unfavourable view on justice. Looking with other eyes.
  5. “They covered up the truth and the facts”

It is a story one in a million.

It is unbelievable how justice puts Valentino in jail for 27 years!

You can feel the pain John Bunn has had to endure all these years.
The justice paradox on the shoulders of such a young boy of only 14.
27 years long, day after day, unbearable pain.

Possibly, this dozen of cases makes you think twice,
and you come to realize
what children and people experience to control
something they are not to blame for and does not apply to them,
in similar situations.

The way in which people who have done nothing wrong

end up in prison is revolting

e.g. fabricated evidence.

It is mind-boggling what justice does

to put together what is not applicable…

The data from so many cases are evidence of such practices

e.g. Investigative misconduct – NYPD Detective Louis Scarcella

A never-ending long list of cases is living proof of the disruption of justice.

The case of Andrew Makinson who spent 17 years wrongfully imprisoned.

 

British government launches investigation

Justice is not served,

according to the most important metric, reality.

This hits the core of the website

The fine line between justice and injustice

Please click on the link

The law has been carried out wrongly.
There was obstruction to the course of justice.

(= preventing the law being put into action).
 

The innocence projects

In the early nineties American criminal defence attorneys created a network of international associations

called the Innocence Network. It’s been 30 years their mission to fight injustice by exonerating innocent people

and helping the justice system correct its mistakes. It a worldwide human rights movement.

Anybody can be mistakenly identified and how many times do we have to see this.

There are so many more innocent people in prison than people realize – Barry Scheck

Behind every example lies a gruesome truth.

A weak system that has failed is not a marginal thing.

People will realize that people are wrongly convicted.

Of course, it is deliberate and intentional that a case is mishandled.

Rowing harder doesn’t help if the boat
is headed in the wrong direction.

KENICHI OHMAE

The justice system throws the door wide open to fraud.

It contradicts due process. A fair trial.

A legal process can easily derail, resulting in not getting what one deserves,

with the horrific outcome as seen in the examples on this webpage and on the website.

As a human being, you cannot be insensitive to this kind of abuse of power.

Do you realize how much suffering one inflicts upon a person in such a situation of extreme injustice?

You need to feel the pain that those young people have had to endure

in order to realize the impact on their lives.

Fairness? The time it takes to deliver justice, injustice has usually permanently damaged the most essential thing to remember.

The statement is highlighting two perspectives on fairness and justice.

“Fairness is what justice really is”: This suggests that true justice is synonymous with fairness. In an ideal situation, when justice is served, it is fair to all parties involved. It implies that the outcome of a just process should be equitable and unbiased.

“Fairness by the time justice is done”: This part is pointing out a potential issue. It suggests that in reality, the time it takes to achieve justice might be so long that the concept of fairness gets compromised. Delays in the legal system or other factors may mean that by the time justice is finally delivered, the damage caused by injustice may already be irreversible.

In summary, the statement is emphasizing the importance of not only achieving justice but also doing so in a timely manner. Delayed justice might result in permanent harm, and true justice should inherently be fair.

“The only stable state is the one in which all men are equal before the law – Aristotle”

Aristotle is expressing the idea that a society is most stable when all people are treated equally under the law. In simpler terms, it means that for a community or a country to be balanced and secure, everyone should be subject to the same rules and laws, without any special privileges or discrimination. This principle suggests that fairness and equality in legal treatment contribute to a stable and harmonious society.

Multi-layered means here destructive justice versus Justice is truth in action.

Let’s break down these two sentences:

“Justice dies when truth is buried under the infinite layers of lies…” – Akanksha Dudpuri:
This sentence suggests that when the truth is concealed beneath numerous layers of lies, justice becomes ineffective or even nonexistent. The metaphorical idea here is that lies can create a barrier, making it difficult for the truth to surface and, as a result, justice cannot prevail.

“Multi-layered means here destructive justice versus Justice is truth in action.

In this sentence, the term “multi-layered” used in the first sentence. “Multi-layered” refers to a situation where justice becomes destructive, presumably due to the layers of lies obstructing the truth. Then, the contrast with your the perspective that true justice is when the legal system operates based on the truth – “Justice is truth in action.” This implies that real justice is achieved when the truth is actively pursued and acknowledged in legal proceedings.

In summary, both sentences convey the idea that justice relies on the truth and that when lies obscure the truth, justice is compromised, potentially leading to destructive outcomes. The second sentence clarifies the meaning of “multi-layered” by contrasting it with the concept of justice as the embodiment of truth.

3 Most Disgusting Wine Tasting Prank

Old fashioned wine tasting – with wine made from bare foot trampled grapes. Everyone instantly changes their opinion on the wine as soon as they discover the wine making process. None of the guys that shrugged “Hey it’s free alcohol” and chugged the whole thing made it in our final cut.
 
A presentation of JustForLaughsTV, the official Just For Laughs Gags YouTube channel. Home of the funniest, greatest, most amazing, most hilarious, win filled, comedy galore, hidden camera pranks in the world!

It looks like Candid Camera, justice has fallen into an inconvenient trap

Barry Gibbs does not understand the conviction or how he came to be involved in the case at all.

The story of Barry Gibbs

It’s the same for Anthony Ray Hinton, they knew he was innocent

Exonerated death row inmate tells his story at Legacy Museum

“Out of all the Innocence Project cases, I think that Barry Gibbs is the one instance

where a police officer just literally picked out somebody

and said, ‘We have to frame him.’

It’s one of the things that you have to understand about Barry,

as opposed to so many other people.

 

It’s completely crazy and irrational you could be framed for this murder

out of nowhere. It’s terrible, terrible.”

Barry Scheck at minute 22 of the video

When you end up in the wrong hands

with the justice system, your life is over.

A justice system visibly painfully used as a game,

without any conscience

(as clarified on following pages, button Part 2 to Part 7).

‘Justice is a jungle’.

No shame whatsoever, no sense of guilt, no humanity, no morals and no principes.

Abject unscrupulous as a dictator.

There are plenty more mind-boggling examples throughout the website.

It is like the metaphorical Magdeburg hemispheres.

You either acknowledge the reality of life or you persevere in wickedness.

That moment that everything fits together and makes sense.

Make-or-break

Conscience must respect truth.

The conscience will make false judgments when it fails to acknowledge the truth about things.

The question is

how is it possible for someone with malicious intent to do something like this,

causing an innocent child to end up in prison for endless years?

It’s a defining moment

The moment they realise something ‘unthinkable’ was going on.

6 A Battle-Hardened Society

4 The Secret Princess: King’s love child in court battle for recognition | 60 Minutes Australia

11 okt. 2020

Game of Thrones (2020) 60 MINUTES reporter Liam Bartlett used to consider the British Royal family to be the masters – and mistresses – of scandal. Now he thinks they may have to hand over their crown to the Belgian Royal family, who have sensationally been ordered to acknowledge and recognise a brand-new princess. However, this decree is not a reason for official celebration on the streets of Brussels because, rather embarrassingly, the new royal is the 52-year-old love child of the former King, Albert II. Back in the 1960s when he was a prince, the supposedly happily married and deeply religious Albert took a long-term lover. Delphine Boel was the surprise consequence of the illicit affair. For most of her life she dutifully kept mum about her lineage, until a bitter falling out with her father changed her mind.
 
For forty years, 60 Minutes have been telling Australians the world’s greatest stories. Tales that changed history, our nation and our lives. Reporters Liz Hayes, Tom Steinfort, Tara Brown, Liam Bartlett and Sarah Abo look past the headlines because there is always a bigger picture. Sundays are for 60 Minutes.

Battle-Hardend
Toughened by the experience of battle

Collins English Dictionary.

Hard-fought
Achieved after a lot of difficulty or fighting
A hard-fought victory

Cambridge Dictionary

King Albert II was able to string along the justice system with his lawyers for 7 long years until he was eventually punished by the justice system with a fine of 5000 euros per day for refusing to provide his DNA. It immediately became clear that he is the father of Delphine, something that he himself and all of Belgium eventually knew. Please enjoy the video: The Secret Princess: King’s love child in court battle for recognition.

Pushed to my last resort
I took my father to court
It was all over the news
The family was not amused

Justice is a nonsense word

That does not exist in this world

Delphine Boël
Born on 22 February 1968

Be your last resort
idiom

To be the only person or thing that might be able to help you, when every other person or possibility has failed:

You have to help me – you’re my last resort.

Cambridge Dictionary

Trials are about Truth,

it is not a Contest

What Albert II has done to Delphine is not the royal way.

People say he has caused her a lot of pain.

The mud on someone else’s carpet is not the soap on your own carpet.

Princess Delphine had to wage a battle

against her father to be acknowledged.

After a seven-year struggle a court ruled Delphine and her children had won the right to Royal tiltes.

Delphine has been officially anointed as a Princess of Belgium.

Princess Delphine adds at minute 14 in the video 6 above:

“Albert’s side and his lawyers were horrible.”

It is an emotional victory.

For the former king a humiliating defeat.

A battle fought not for money or for fame,

but on the principle that a father should always look out for his kids.

Dephine says: “I am pround of myself because it was difficult and I had to fight for something that really belongs to me and belongs to my children and I hope that by what I’ve done, it can help other people not to give up and that’s very special for me. I feel very proud because I know how important it is. It really is important to know you know where you come from.”

‘There, he completely ruined it for himself.’

This is the expression as it appeared in the newspaper about Albert II.

 

“Daar heeft hij het voor zichzelf helemaal kapot gemaakt”

This is the original Dutch text.

7 Despite knowing the facts, wrong decisions were made or the event was not stopped

You can only call it an accident if it is an accident.

The tragic outcome in the case of Sanda Dia is not an accident,

as wrongly stated in the verdict.

He couldn’t even walk in the morning – as we can see in the footage –

due to the forced consumption of alcohol the previous day,

by the members of Reuzegom. And so on,

such as the torture practices that followed throughout the night and the entire day.

It was a broken system, as explained in detail in the website.

People were completely blinded and derailed like the conman Diederik Stapel in Part 2 of the website.

Conmen Jimmy Savile,

Bernie Madoff and

BBC journalist Marten Bashir

knew how to use deceitful tactics.

It is not a pretty picture what happened to princes Diana by the BBC journalist Marten Bashir

 in a deceitful way to have the interview in 1995 by using false bank statements.

What Sanda Dia had to endure for days is downright criminal, being tortured to death.

The verdict is a slap in the face. It is a game of words. It is a missed opportunity.

His death is not an accident

In such situations, the system loses all credibility and you get worthless conclusions.

Choosing

to turn a blind eye

towards the injustices happening in your own backyard

because they’re not happening to you

is the same as being an accomplice to it.

We fail as a society

when we can give more excuses towards our failings,

and less examples of our accomplishments.

The points ‘A Battle-Hardened Society’

and the examples in ‘Despite knowing the facts’

illustrate that other forces are at play.

5 DSK Released From House Arrest

Dominique Strauss-Kahn has been released from house arrest, amid doubts over the credibility of the woman who accused him of rape.

The saying goes:

“The guilty rich go free, and 

the innocent poor are convicted.”

It is like ‘To see the speck in another’s eye, but not the beam in one’s own’. A biblical passage found in the Bible, specifically Matthew 7:3-5 (King James Version).

Dominique Strauss-Kahn used to be head of the International Monetary Fund and was considered a possible future president of France.
 
But after years of alleged scandals, he is now on trial in Lille for alleged ‘aggravated pimping’ – aiding and abetting the prostitution of seven women.

Isn’t the case of DSK and the chambermaid at the Sofitel hotel in New York

the living proof that justice can be used as a deus ex machina?

 

In other words, justice can serve as an unexpected or dramatic solution,

much like the literary device “deus ex machina”.

The Scandal that Brought Down DSK

Please visite this web page about this subject

When you go through the examples on this home page and examples throughout the website, and
carefully listen to videos in which those who were wrongly convicted speak, and 
when you sense the impossible ordeal these young people and individuals had to endure,
it’s like rowing with the oars you have in

impossible circumstances of abuse of power,

‘it’s throwing someone to the wolves’.

Even a young child in all its innocence.

The worst form of injustice.

Throw someone to the lions
Throw someone to the wolves

It’s enough to make you fall off your chair

when so many pillars in society are aware

of something that can be easily resolved,

and yet it still goes wrong.

Other forces are at play.

A now infamous photo capturing atrocities committed in Congo Free State

John Bunn arrested in New York when he was only 14 years old (on the right). His conviction was overturned based on the wrongdoing of NYPD detective Scarcella and the fact that there wasn’t even probable cause to arrest Bunn in the first place.

The John Bunn Story, wrongfully jailed at 14

Please watch video 1 At 14, he was convicted of a murder he didn’t commit on this link

John Bunn very appropriately names it “a crime I had no knowledge of, I had nothin’ to do with”.

9 It is a very bad thing for justice

Justice enters unknown territory, one does not know the reality, bias can arise, framing can occur, elements can be ignored, and a deceptive image can be created.

A dossier is not reality; it’s a rational representation, it’s fragmentary, it doesn’t fully penetrate, it’s at a distance, you can put it in perspective, and it becomes a means to not engage with how wrong the actual events are. Someone else can view something in a different way, and so on.

Initially, the justice system can make a mistake in a particular case, but later you see clues and realize that something is not right, and the person facing difficulties due to the legal process has nothing to do with it, and no blame can be pinned on them.

Sometimes it’s something very simple and straightforward and can be easily resolved.

Like with a bag someone forgets next to a bench at a railway station; it’s immediately taken to lost and found by someone arriving. A few moments later, Securail comes to check because they received a call from the person who later realized they forgot a bag. Meanwhile, it’s announced on the platform by the person who found the bag to Securail, that the bag is already at the lost and found, and everything is immediately resolved.

Of course, it’s different when dealing with a rigid system or a difficult person who is entangled in strange twists or is not suitable or competent to handle something.

The risk inherent in justice is that it can be used in a wrong way:

Justice is crumbling into an artificial happening, used for appearances.

The consequences for the person caught up in something like this are dramatic.

It is a kind of justice that is noticeably pieced together with malicious intent, and this is very evident in everything.

When nonsense is used, for example, there is no file, and that’s why one resorts to something deceptively put together.

This is clearly reflected in an abundance of examples on the homepage and throughout the website. The line has been crossed, it’s criminal behavior.

The purpose of the website is to make this risk clear.

It is alarming that justice can derail in this way and it is astonishing that this happens so ruthlessly internally.

incomprehensible, and uncertain consequences.

Take the case of Ricky Jakson, an 18-year-old boy who has been behind bars for over 39 years based on a coerced statement from a 12-year-old!

This is just one example of the many thousands who are released from prison after being exonerated. Free from all guilt after years of imprisonment, during which it was known that the person was innocent!

Currently (mid April 2024)  3,500 persons are exonerated since 1989 in the USA alone.

Ex‧on‧e‧rate: to state officially that someone who has been blamed for something is not guilty

Exonerate somebody from/of something.    He was totally exonerated of any blame.   Longman Dictionary

In 2018, heaven and earth were moved to rescue 12 teenagers of the same age (11 to 16 years old) and their 25-year-old coach in an almost impossible manner during the monsoon from a cave in Thailand (as mentioned higher in point 1 for comparison).

In the realm of justice, they do exactly the opposite.

It is apparently child’s play to disrupt the system and shatter the lives of children and people, as one can observe based on thousands of examples.

Point ‘9 It is a very bad thing for justice’. The text under this title above explains, what is going on.

Below, 5 lines, both in English and Dutch, questioning the attention wrongly convicted individuals deserve when the justice system fails.

What happens to those children at such a young age is so extreme – as a human, you must have experienced something very terrible yourself – to feel the pain that they endure in the 7 examples, something that could never have happened to them at all.

Football star Brian Banks spent 5 years in prison and another 5 years on probation after being falsely accused of rape — but he doesn’t want his story to diminish survivors’ stories.

In US news and current events today, Brian Banks sat down with NowThis News to talk about being one of many exonerated prisoners found to be innocence by the Innocence Project and other organizations like it. The Brian Banks story as explained by Banks is that he was at the top of high school football and had a promising career, but was derailed after being falsely accused of rape and then caught in a wrongful conviction. Documentary shorts like this highlight the innocence project cases that could help change the criminal justice system. A new film about Brian Banks highlights his story.

Why did it take so long for people to finally begin to listen?

10 The justice system has been hit by the windmill

16 Post Office used ‘unacceptable’ racist slur to describe Horizon scandal suspects

Back to menu

 
 

As if wrongly prosecuting hundreds of people wasn’t enough – now the Post Office has been forced to apologise for using racist terms to describe postmasters caught up in the Horizon computer scandal.

A newly revealed internal document shows fraud investigators were asked to group people based on their racial features – using language the Post Office has now admitted was “unacceptable”.

‘The Post Office Wrongful Convictions Scandal’ is living proof that something can happen to a person that should never happen.

It’s just one of the countless examples throughout the website.

In this case, however, it is a large-scale event and with deceptive intent.

It is distressing that a person can find themselves in such a situation.

This has nothing to do with justice anymore.

‘It’s a mess.’ 

In the Dutch language it is called

‘een foute boel’.

11 The Environmental factors

The term “environmental factors” is here used in the sense of “external factors” or “external influences”.

The Rotherham child sexual exploitation scandal

The Rotherham child sexual exploitation scandal consists of the organised child sexual abuse that occurred in the town of Rotherham, South Yorkshire, Northern England from the late 1980s.

1,400 children were abused in Rotherham over a 16-year period. Victims as young as 11 were trafficked, beaten and raped. One girl said gang rape was ‘a way of life’ where she lived. But council staff did nothing for fear of being labelled racist.

Abduction of children

A number of shortcomings in the Dutroux investigation caused widespread discontent in Belgium with the country’s criminal justice system, and the ensuing scandal was one of the reasons for the reorganization of Belgium’s law enforcement agencies and widespread allegations of corruption and infiltration of the Belgian justice system by a criminal enterprise. In the White March, 300,000 Belgian citizens protested the mishandling of the case. Michelle Martin was freed on parole in 2012 after 16 years in prison. Michel Nihoul died in 2019.

Sadly, this evil is still going strong this very day, even more so. You will be baffled about what is going on in our world if you just take your time to truly research things. Perhaps one of the most shocking elements of pedophilia and human trafficking is the fact that there are so many people who live in denial and shout “fake news”. It is our duty to unite and raise awareness.

Firework disaster Enschede

Van Buitenen discovered that both the official investigation and its conclusions aimed solely at exonerating the government, its regulations, and supervision from any blame. The focus was not on discovering the truth but on steering toward a desired investigation outcome. This was to prevent billion-dollar claims. For this reason, the owners were put on the pillory with false statements and tampering with witness testimonies.

Justice in the dock as man goes on trial for kidnap, rape and murder of children

It all began on Saturday afternoon, when 22-year-old Mamoudou Gassama was walking home from the famous Gare du Nord station. He came upon a crowd of panicked people, staring in terror at a 4-year-old boy who was suspended in mid-air from a fourth-floor balcony. With no thought for his personal safety, Mamoudou leapt up and began to scale the building with exceptional ease, earning himself the nickname “Spider-Man”.

French President Emmanuel Macron (L) speaks with Mamoudou Gassama, 22, from Mali, at the presidential Elysee Palace in Paris, on May, 28, 2018. – Mamoudou Gassama living illegally in France is being honored by Macron for scaling an apartment building over the weekend to save a 4-year-old child dangling from a fourth-floor balcony.

Below are four videos in the English language. In the second video ‘Malian migrant is man of the hour’, there’s a studio discussion with Mamoudou. Globally, across all television channels, the event was world news. Listen to the wisdom of the 22-year-old in the second video. The wisdom of a boy who has never been to school. These are words that cannot be heard with dry eyes when he talks about his attitude and behavior towards a 4-year-old child in a life-threatening situation, which also changes his life in 30 seconds from a migrant without residency rights, who has undergone an unbearably difficult journey through the desert. No one knew where he was or if he was still alive. He is received by the president, receives the French identity card, and work…

12 In a nutshell

It’s not going well in the justice system, there is a structural problem. It is incomprehensible that someone who is completely out of line with a profile of wrongdoing can be brought into trouble, even if that person, however you look at it, is incompatible with an event. Nevertheless, the justice system can act completely arbitrarily without any hindrance.

It is incomprehensible that people come to stand against each other when there is absolutely nothing wrong.

This is what this first page of the website makes clear in numerous examples, in various circumstances.
The pain and damage caused by something that should never have arisen are irreversible.

As mentioned in the first words of point 1, ‘The Liam Allan case,’ it is the madness, the irrationallity, the nonsense that is the cause of such an uncomfortable, destructive, perverse occurrence.
A misguided or irrational state of mind.

How deranged must you be to falsely accuse someone out of the blue, and even go so far as to buy a hammer to harm yourself in order to falsely accuse someone? It’s just unimaginable.

“She Should Get Life in Jail” – Man Falsely Accused.

Can justice really be abused so easily?

How is it possible that Liam Allan barely escaped at the very last moment, even though no prosecution was necessary? It’s incomprehensible in such a straightforward black and white case, especially considering that the police had the evidence in their hands… Prosecutor Jerry Hayes calls it sheer incompetence.

Before you judge someone, walk a mile in their shoes

In a nutshell

A failing justice system (a fault or weakness: Cambridge Dictionarty)

It can happen to anyone. The examples are numerous. It’s a kind of occurrence like Diederik Stapel (Part 2 of the website), Bernard L. Madoff, and countless others who create a mess. The religions have done this, as well as various authorities and trust figures who go wrong. It is inherently linked to a weak justice system that can easily be disrupted. Trust is a paradox, isn’t it? The website makes it clear, as in the more than 650 candid camera clips of about one and a half minutes each (generally at the bottom of each webpage). This first webpage provides a selection of such examples, it’s like history that was sometimes presented unvarnished.

People couldn’t believe it was possible, the ‘Mission Impossible’ for those 12 boys and their soccer coach in that cave in Thailand in 2018 during the monsoon season. Thousands worldwide did the impossible with success; the boys were sedated and wearing masks underwater, with the sedation needing to be repeated, in a race against time. After 18 days, they all made it out successfully. When you know the details of this ‘Mission Impossible,’ it deeply affects a person. It involved 3 hours of swimming with two divers over 2.5 km in challenging conditions.

In comparison, on the other hand, within the entities of justice and police, there are individuals who go to great lengths to knowingly and willingly accuse innocent people who were not even at the crime scene, falsely accusing them of something they have no involvement in and no knowledge of. These innocents endure the unimaginable suffering of years in prison, with exoneration being a rare occurrence.

Justice has a dark chapter, as becomes evident when you watch and listen to the endless series of videos on this website.

13 Justice is a kind of modern-day slavery

Modern Day Slavery

When you go through all those well-known examples on the website and when you realize what has been done with those people, through

a representation on paper, of which it is well known and was known that it has nothing to do with reality, and in this way tears these people away from the harmony of their lives.

It is chilling when the data from the examples run through your mind. It is a very bizarre behavior of those who are in control.

No clue, no piece of information, and no element can explain why those people end up in prison. It is the extreme situations of fraudulent justice or ‘a pervertion of justice’.

One of the fundamental purposes of a justice system is to protect people from others violating their legal interests. In cases that turn out to have resulted in wrongful convictions, it is the criminal system itself that victimizes persons who have not committed any crime but are punished nonetheless. “Deely concerning”

Fooled by the system

This is not justice

It is deeply reprehensible

It is modern-day slavery

Half Has Never Been Told

On Thursday, May 24, 2012 the Los Angeles Superior Court reversed Banks’ conviction and ended his nightmare of wrongful conviction.

When it comes to children, and you are confronted with what painfully happens to them, the issue is very clear and black-and-white. You cannot allow a child to be in a situation that deeply impacts their life. Furthermore, there is a societal responsibility to do what is necessary to return a child to a normal situation.

Moreover, when one has used the bag of tricks to disrupt justice, and you are dealing with fraudulent justice, there is an imperative duty to do everything necessary to resolve this.

18 Death Before Dying: Death Row Exoneree on Solitary Confinement

http://www.aclu.org/solitaryondeathrow

From 1994 to 2006, Anthony Graves spent at least 22 hours a day locked alone in a small cell waiting to die — all for a crime he did not commit. During those years, 400 other prisoners were also locked alone on Texas’ death row. Watch this video to hear Anthony’s story.

Transcript:

– Solitary confinement is driving men crazy. I don’t understand how someone can subject another human being to this type of punishment and think that it’s justified. It is totally inhumane. There’s no way around it. You know, you really don’t truly understand the impact of removing someone from human contact for years. It can even be for weeks, but it has a– it has a negative effect on that person. So the human contact, as I said, we’re built for that, and it’s so important. And it’s like– it’s like totally removing someone from society and putting them in a dark hole, right? And everybody’s walking over it, and he’s shouting from the bottom of that hole, but nobody hears him, you know? And it’s dark down there. It just drives you crazy. And I experienced that so many times, where I’m shouting; I’m there. I want– I want somebody to just, you know, come talk to me, you know, just shake my hand. Something, you know, because you urge for that. And I couldn’t get it. You know, so you have to start playing tricks with your own mind, you know, just to try to survive this here thing. I feel that I went through this to be here to share it with you all and let you all know that what we’re doing to prisoners and to guys in solitary confinement is totally inhumane. We’re driving people crazy. And this is our criminal justice system that’s supposed to serve and protect us. But we are literally driving men insane. And those that are already insane, we’re just putting them in the casket. That’s all we’re doing. There’s no rehabilitation. There’s no such thing as justice in an injust environment. You can’t get that.

What would it be like to spend years locked in a room the size of your bathroom?

Is the prolonged solitary confinement of thousands of Americans ‘torture’, or an essential tool to keep prisons safe?

The BBC’s Hilary Andersson meets prisoners who have spent years in solitary confinement in the US.

The metaphor of a millstone and the depths of the sea

The Bible contains a well-known passage that mentions the consequences of harming children, using the metaphor of a millstone and the depths of the sea. This passage can be found in the New Testament, specifically in the book of Matthew, chapter 18, verses 6-7 (Matthew 18:6-7):

But if anyone causes a young, believing person to sin, it’s better for them to have a heavy stone tied around their neck and be drowned in the sea. It’s a terrible thing for the world when people lead others into sin. Temptations will come, but it’s a terrible thing for the person who causes others to sin.

This passage emphasizes the seriousness of causing harm or offenses to children and the severe consequences that would befall those who do so, symbolized by the imagery of a millstone tied around the offender’s neck and being cast into the depths of the sea. It highlights the importance of protecting and nurturing the faith and well-being of children.

In simpler terms, it is saying that while wrongdoing is a part of life,

those who actively cause harm or lead others into sin will face severe consequences.

It’s a warning about the seriousness of leading astray or causing harm to those who are considered innocent, trusting, or vulnerable – such as children, but not limited to them. It’s an illustration of the severe consequences that should be faced by those who cause such harm, symbolized by the metaphor of having a millstone tied around one’s neck and being cast into the sea.

“A young, believing person” in scripture Matthew 18:6-7. This belief isn’t necessarily confined to a theological context but can extend to any situation where there’s a vulnerable trust or reliance on someone or something for guidance, support, or protection.

Protecting and nurturing this childlike trust or belief is emphasized in this verse, indicating the seriousness of safeguarding the innocence and vulnerability of those who trust in such a manner.

In 1989, Yusef Salaam was one of five teenagers arrested and wrongly imprisoned after the brutal rape of a jogger in New York’s Central Park. They were exonerated in 2002 when DNA evidence linked another person to the crime.

Now, some three decades later, Salaam has declared victory in a race for a New York City Council seat. Salaam joined Geoff Bennett to discuss the win.
