Ladies are the same everywhere, in he USA or in India!
Jeffrey Sinclair, a serving Brigadier General of US Army is
charged with sexual assault & 2 more charges. Military prosecutors are
bargaining with him to plead guilty to a charge of 'mistreatment' to avoid
court proceedings! Don't blame Indian judiciary! It is a hundred times better.
The problem with us is we in the USA, love cutting a 'deal' for
anything! You can murder someone in cold blood in a small county and if you can
engage a famous lawyer to defend by paying millions of dollars in fees, the
county will be happy to allow you to plead guilty to lesser crime, such as manslaughter or even
unintended killing or self defense! Because the county cannot afford to
reimburse your lawyer's fees just in case it loses the case! Shame on this plea
bargaining process. Shame on our boasting that in the eyes of our law, all are
equal. Of course, we are equal if everyone can afford to pay a big fat lawyer.
It is worse when this plea bargaining has entered even the military service! No
wonder everyone wants to carry a gun!
