Mr. Ynzon:
Familiar about constitutional democracy?
That answers your uneducated grasp of these two countries – US of A and Pinoyland.
The similarity of how they institute guidelines in jurisprudence goes hand-in-hand, as written in their constitutions, and only deviates in the way they put it into practice.
Regarding legal matters, you say?
Criminal and civil cases in the US of A, are decided thru bench trial or by jury – meaning it’s the option of the accused to be tried in a court of law by a judge or by his/her peers.
In a bench trial, the discretion of the judge is paramount, based on evidences presented. It can go both ways in conviction or acquittal, though, sometimes it’s biased and prejudicial.
In a jury trial, it’s more refined. The selection of the jury passed thru a fine-toothed comb to eliminate clichés, and racial overtones. The duty of the judge, is to explain the minutiae of the law applied to the case being heard, and follow sentencing guidelines, if ever there’s a conviction.
In the circuit courts of Pinoyland where . . . bench trial . . . is the norm, suspicions of corruption abounds, wherein judges are perceived as crooked and have designated price on their heads.
The perception of Lady Justice in a blindfold – one eye is covered and in her hand a scale full of wads of cash.
A parody in the miscarriage of justice . . . Pinoy style.
Whether believable or not, the seeds of incompetence and debasement are already – sown.
Don’t get me wrong, it also happens in America, but not as pandemic in comparison.
So, you give up the ghost on Pinoyland, huh?
All the best!
