Deceptive Justice

1 Objective

The goal is to create a well-constructed website to clearly convey

    • that what is happening in the justice system is incomprehensible.
    • It is shameful.
    • It is appalling.

The website is not just a place for presenting information but for actively exploring and questioning the failures in the justice system – a searching talk (a reflective dialogue aimed at uncovering the truth) to shed light on the underlying issues.

To Clarify the Idea Behind the Website

2 Introduction
  • 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, the justice system fails to uphold this purpose, instead causing harm to the innocent.
  • Such failures not only devastate the lives of those wrongfully accused but also undermine public trust in the legal system as a whole.
  • It is essential for the justice system to acknowledge these errors and take corrective actions to restore justice and prevent future injustices.

     

The initial start of this website were the articles in The Times regarding Liam Allan. I couldn’t imagine that justice is so fragile and delicate, that someone with a good character, as described by prosecutor Jerry Hayes about Liam Allan, could simply disappear into prison without batting an eye and consequently be labeled as a lifelong sexual offender.

Hence, the subtitle: Liam as a metaphor for a failing justice system.

Later, I read poetry by Princes Dephine regarding her personal struggle to be recognised;

“Justice is a nonsense word
That does not exist in this world”

Pushed to my last resort
I took my father to court
It was all over the news
The family was not amused
Some people were horrible
It was terrible
I kept level headed
In the old days I would be beheaded
The judges listened with deaf ears
Knowing the outcome was clear
Power took over
The whole charade was a cover
Lady justice is not blind
She has left me in a bind
Blacklisted, outcast
My future will not be my past
Justice is a nonsense word
That does not exist in this world

3 Not everyone is honest – Not everyone is fair

We are dealing with people who acquire power and who abuse that power.

“Cannibalization” refers to the act of one individual or group consuming the flesh of another human being.

In the context of the passage of the text, it’s describing a horrifying event where members of the militia of the Abir Congo Rubber Company allegedly engaged in the mutilation and consumption of the five-year-old daughter, Boali, and her mother, after the father, Nsala Wala, failed to meet the rubber harvesting quotas set by the overseers appointed by the company.

The passage highlights the extreme brutality and inhumanity that occurred during the Belgian Congo’s exploitation era, portraying it as a profound representation of evil at its most abhorrent. It underscores the atrocities committed during that period, emphasizing the importance of remembering and acknowledging these historical horrors to prevent their recurrence and to honor the victims.

4 Wrongful convictions

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 justice system itself that victimizes persons who have not committed any crime but are punished nonetheless. “Deeply concerning”, of erg onrustwekkend.

Notice. 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 perversion of justice’ These are the examples mentioned in point 3 and subsequently in point 9 on the home page. It is the omnipotence of justice that is used to intentionally do wrong or other forces are at play. (it is not the margin of error within the judiciary).

1 Man Wrongfully Imprisoned for 39 Years

15 mei 2017

Ricky Jackson spent nearly 4 decades behind bars, but thanks to the work of the Ohio Innocence Project and Mark Godsey, he was exonerated. He shares his incredible story.

A thirteen-year-old boy was threatened to give a false testimony, claiming that harm would come to his sick mother. When he himself fell ill and told the chaplain in the hospital about the burden on his conscience regarding his false testimony that led to Ricky Jackson being imprisoned as an innocent man, Ricky Jackson was finally acquitted of all charges and released from prison 39 years later.

Once you end up in the clutches of justice through the bag of tricks, in other words, 100% framed, you can no longer escape from it by mishandling the case. Ricky Jackson is one in a thousand, where an Innocence Project has been working for years to get a clearly innocent person exonerated.

Once you end up in the justice system, even when you don’t understand how this can happen, one can then shamelessly do whatever they want.

This is no longer justice.
