Novel & Cerita Delayed Justice Is Denied Justice

"I'm sure those fvcking bastards who lurk beneath a cat mask for fvck's sake are after you, Elliot, you know, a victorious lawyer against unfair justice after you won a lot of cases." I turned my gaze to him. Jake must be right after all. Five years in the line of defending criminals against criminals is inevitably a big responsibility, and being their victorious enemy is evidence of a failure of the country's justice system. I have to stand my ground, not to perpetuate my popularity but to continue our legacy, and they should have accepted it.

Humarap ako sa Judge, itinataas ang aking ulo nang may buong dangal. "Your Honor, the accused has denied the charges. But the voices of his victims have already been heard by the entire world. He has no defenders left to run to, and he no longer has the money to buy justice. The prosecution requests the immediate denial of any bail and the swift issuance of a warrant for his final imprisonment." Tumitig sa akin ang Judge, pagkatapos ay kay Eduardo na tila isang basang sisiw na nawalan ng lakas sa kanyang marangyang upuan.

“Kailangan mo na itigil kung ano man ang mga ginagawa ninyo at ipaubaya sa mga taong may karapatan humawak ng hustisya. Justice is not something you can hold in your hands or control.” “No, mom.” He disagreed. “In this case, justice is not being served by being blind to the facts. If I have to go against the rules in order to get the right result, then I will do it. I just want to make sure I get justice for Rachelle, and I'm not going to stop until I get what I deserve.”

Hinalikan niya ang noo nito at ngumiti siyang nakatitig rito. Maraming nangyari. Hindi inakala ni Brael na ang hustisya na kaniyang hinahangad ay hindi makakamtan sa pamamagitan ng pagkitil ng buhay kun'di ay makakamtan sa pamamagitan ng pagpatawad at pagpapanaig ng pagmamahal. He decided to stop chasing justice because love wins over it. He loves Hasumi, the killer of his parents. ***WAKAS***

“The truth, Your Honor, is often uncomfortable. But our responsibility as officers of the court is not to shy away from it. Hindi po kami narito upang magpasikat, kundi upang manindigan sa tama. And in this case, the truth is clear: the negligence, the cover-up, the deliberate intent to delay justice—all of it, points directly to the other side.” Tahimik si Judge Arrieta, pero nakita kong tumango siya nang bahagya. Isang senyales na tama ang direksyon ko. Muli kong tiningnan si Lourdes. Hindi siya ngumiti. Hindi rin siya nagsalita. Pero alam kong naramdaman niya ang bigat ng sinabi ko. ***

Huminto siya sandali, saka huminga nang malalim. “Pero nakiusap sila Kuya Lualhati na unahin muna yung unang kaso. I’m sorry, my love, kung kailangan pang maghintay ang justice para sa nangyari sa’yo. Pero ‘wag kang mag-alala dahil nakasampa na, kinausap lang muna ni Kuya Lualhati ang korte para i-hold or i-delay ang process.” Ngumiti ako at dahan-dahang tumango.
