So the police arrest somebody, anybody and call him the suspect. Anybody will do; just get the matter done with. So they manipulate everything manipulatable but most of all manufacture lies against the maybe or maybe not innocent person. They send their manufactured evidence and lies to the office of the Director of Public prosecution/District Attorney. They, the police convince(with or without incentives) the office of the DPP/DA that the accused is guilty and must be charged to court. The DPP's office appoints a counsel to handle the case; he will henceforth be known as the prosecutor.
The case gets to court and the accused now also known as the defendant has appointed a lawyer who will henceforth be known as the Defence counsel.
In no time, the prosecution starts to realize that the police have not done a good job of the case so it also employs untoward means in order not to lose face. More lies, fake and false witnesses and fabricated stories.
The defence realizing what the prosecution is upto starts to manufacture its own lies & evidence to counter the prosecution. The defendant is schooled in a way that could have earned him a PHD.
Let us not think that this is a one way traffic; when an accused is as guilty as sin, his defence lawyer starts to fabricate all the lies neede to protect him.
Meanwhile, the presiding Judge although maintaining a stern outlook is not fooled by all that is going on because the Judge has also gone through the whole hog. His or her judgement is going to favour who so ever has told the better lie.They see through each contender but I wonder why they cannot just say to either party to stop the rubbish.
Obviously, there are exceptions to the rules.
Now do not believe for one moment that only matters involving the police contain fabrications. Landlords who want a tenant out are just as bad. That broken louvre that you have not fixed will be termed as willful damage to the property. A young bachelor living alone comes home pretty late once or twice a week is a nuisance and menace to the neighbours; it is worse if the tenant is a lady; she is immediately termed a prostitute and such a life style is not compatible with the very responsible co-tenants. In such civil cases the Landlord is referred to as the PLAINTHIEF; sorry, I beg your pardon, the right name is plaintiff.
The tenant makes a very brave effort to defend; he tells the court how the landlord habitually wants to raise the rent by over 50%; how he has built a shop in front of the house which has devalued the property & ruined the landscape. It goes on and on and I wonder why judges do not just lose their temper and throw them out. I do not envy Judges, what with all the crap they have to cope with.
Can I get a witness.
