As good as our judicial system may be, sometimes it fails to work. The criminal slips out between the bars of a jail because of a technicality or because the prosecution fails to come up with flawless evidence securing a guilty verdict. As citizens, parents, sisters, brothers and friends, we feel cheated that another criminal is set free to haunt doorways of the truly innocent.
Then there are those who have been mistakenly accused and they have to instantly adopt the hardness of criminals in order to survive among them. A forgetful witness may identify the wrong person or an over-zealous cop may decide to play judge and jury, or maybe it's a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
As the verdicts are read, we too, make our decisions, but our votes are never counted.
This is your opportunity to have your vote counted - Guilty or Not Guilty.
