    Well there is no other explanation for that verdict. Legally if the panel says he is sane and fit for sentencing he should have get a proper punishment. Instead the judge let him go.

        You need irrefutable evidence to prove they committed a crime. The problem is that the legal system grants them too much leeway and “right of interpretation”, so most charges don’t stick. Even when something does, they are usually allowed to resign or retire quietly. The excuse is always the same: “to avoid damaging public trust in the justice system”.

        While there are honorable people in the system, there are also assholes who will ruin your entire day—making you wait hours just because they’re having coffee. There are so many minor infractions happening in a courthouse that would get anyone else fired, yet nothing ever happens to a judge.

          Surely they acknowledge that every instance of corruption does more to damage the trust in the justice system than holding themselves accountable. What happens when this lack of faith in the system reaches critical mass?
