Different justice systems for the influential and the poor

The Supreme Court decision is lamentable as it trumps justice over individual humanitarian considerations of people in high places who can have their cake and eat it too.

To say that the evidence is weak when factual determination was already done by the anti-graft court is in itself questionable.

The case was not about political persecution of a former president but that of making high officials accountable to our laws and Constitution regardless of status in life. When high public officials get their demurrer just like that, then woe to the ordinary folk who cannot acquire the services of high caliber and well-connected lawyers.
