My Opinion: Justice is, and will be, forever IMPARTIAL

So I was watching the tele and reading news as well and the topic was about the Vizconde Massacre verdict. According to the news, the accused Hubert Webb and others were not guilty beyond unreasonable doubt. Whew! Nosebleed, too technical. Anyways, of course the family is happy since after 15 years or so, (some newscasters said 19 years, so I don't know which one's true) "justice saved them." If we look at the side of the Vizconde's side, justice is unfair.

Was it ever fair though?

I am not familiar about the Vizconde Massacre case, more so, the prosecution and all that, so I am not in the position to say who's telling the truth or who's lying. That's not my point though. I'm kinda using the Vizconde case because it's timely. Anyway, the point is (and I have been longing to make my point about this), justice can never be fair.

You know that weighing scale with the blind -folded lady? One of the side should tip over. Cause most of the time, and I mean maybe all the time, justice is just a cliche. As what I've said before, and this is my original line by the way, "Di talaga pantay ang hustisya, saan ka man sa mundo, lalo na't my partidong dehado." Because this is my line, I strongly believe in it! Hey, this is my opinion, so if you have your own opinion, write it in the "comments" section :D

You might probably wonder why this is my stand. Well it's simple. After the trial, a verdict will be released. The winning team (I'm not sure if I used the right term here, but you get what I mean) rejoices and will say the justice speaks the truth. The losing party (there you go, "party" is the right term), especially the plaintiff or complainant, is devastated thus expressing that justice is impartial. Same concept the other way around. Let's say Webb's party was proven guilty and Vizconde family won, the Webb family will probably think justice is unfair and Vizconde's will salute the justice system. By the way, let me clear with this one, I am not focusing on Webb - Vizconde case. I honestly feel sorry for the Vizconde's.

So your assignment is to apply my theory in relation to the Vizconde Massacre case, Hayden Kho vs. Katrina Halili case, or any other legal cases you know. Let me know if I am wrong or not.

Two faces of justice system lang yan. By the way, I'm pretty sure it doesn't only happen in the Philippines, it happens all over the world , basta may kaso.
