What justice. 25 years of court hearings while the criminals prosper.

Justice delayed is justice denied. Sad indictment of Sri-Lankan justice. Now they will appeal and spend the rest of their lives free until our honorable Judges decide.

Why do we have to respect the law? Why do we have to respect the judges? Why do we have to respect the lawyers who make money out of clients? Why do we have to respect the law makers? Justice delayed is justice denied!!!!!
