Taxpayers pour MUCH money into a supposedly independent justice system so it will protect them from criminals. When it fails to accomplish this, especially when the criminals are government officials whose duty it is to serve and not exploit the public, it loses the confidence of the people. The the appearance of complicity with government, and the assumption of corruption, cannot be avoided.<br /><br />If this case is dismissed, the people will know - once and for all - that we live in a dictatorship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-9762764229098075022009-12-22T10:46:56.858-08:002009-12-22T10:46:56.858-08:00I understand the importance this case is to the pe...I understand the importance this case is to the people given some of the parties involved are representatives of the people.<br />What makes this case special, those who are involved for sure along with the integrity and honesty of our very system is up for question. <br />It can't be taken to lightly that is a certain and thanks for doing such a great job on this story.

Delay, delay, delay, and then make a motion to have the case kicked because of “unreasonable” delays. Tieleman is dead on the money and the Judge will see through this nonsense and send the defence packing.<br /><br />This is good news folks. This trial is going to go forward and eventually we will get to hear the full story. After all, if the defence has nothing to hide why try to have the case dismissed? Innocent people should welcome their day in court and this one is going to be a step closer. I can’t wait!

Ever since the day the Legislature raids happened, it has almost seemed surreal, such a disturbing event happening during Christmas. <br /><br />Tell us what you make of it: exactly why did it happen? whose idea was it? and what about that whole 30 days in which key government figures knew the raid was coming ... does that leave a squeaky-clean impression? <br /><br />I wonder if Basi & Virk will write a book. Hope so!<br />.BC Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16597928683019021273noreply@blogger.com
