There is Hope

Any nation is known by the protection, justice and rights it gives to its citizen. The history of the mighty being convicted for their crimes is not to be found. The powerful do not commit any crime , or it is impossible to convict a powerful person who has commited crime.
Jessica Lals case also seems to have the same fate of not finding justice. But ther seems to be a glimmer of hope. The media pressure and the voice raised by the citizens has probably made some difference. Without being cynical let me hope the guilty do get punished.
As I have mentioned previously the public memory is very short and this is best exploited by the politicians. Some of the news agencies carrying report of Jessica's story, the links to them.....
