Im going home Donny Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I can't believe the people that bombed air India in 1985 killing 331 innocent people have gotten off :: I've quietly and patiently waited all these years for some justice over this...along with hundreds of others. My sister and I were great buddies with Ruchi and Ricki Jane who died on that flight. We matched their ages at 13 and 17. They were our first close buddies when we moved back here from Conneticut. They were SO MUCH FUN. I hope karma has some tricks up her sleaves for the narcissistic assholes responsible for that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 If you're interested (and have a bit of time on your hands) the fairly lengthy judgment of the BC Supreme Court from that case is available, here, online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaggyBalls Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 wouldn't it be more reasonable to point your finger at the lawyers that couldn't prove beyond reasonable doubt that those were in fact the people responsible? Sorry, Jules...but they had 20 years to get their sh!t together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im going home Donny Posted March 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 sure yeah, I see what you're getting at...but no...I point my finger at the narcissitic fu©ker who actually did it and hope that The Karma police are lined up good and square. Prison isn't the only satisfactory justice...I just hope there is some at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Beats, I don't think you want to go down that road. There were issues about inter-departmental fighting between CSIS and the RCMP (which contributed to serious spoliation of evidence impeding the Crown from doing its job years later), there were witnesses that openly lied on the stand, and many other issues. As well, there was a whole team of some of the most accomplished Crown in BC on for the prosecution (as well as on the defence) and everything, to me, points to a case that was very difficult to win. (The Court even hired its own team of lawyers to assist it, rather than to act for either side; one of whom is a friend of mine.) In fact, there have been private comments made by American lawyers who envy us. They think we are fortunate to have a system with a judiciary that is not elected, allowing a judge to make a finding on the basis of the evidence, as was done in this case, as opposed to ruling based on political pressure. In the US there is always much more of a concern that the court will rule on the basis of public pressure, and we should count ourselves lucky to have a judiciary with enough integrity to make a finding based on the cold, hard evidence. I simply don't agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgnor Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Plus the lawyers didn't kill hundreds of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
