How is it with no witnesses they can find suspect, but with SenzoMeyiwaFans and 4 witnesses you can't find-'Jack'?

Indeed d greatest news, sad because only a court of law to decide n is called 'Justice ⚖'. How is Justice ⚖ if it doesn't consider the views of victims? To me it will be great if we say those of such act should be kept in dungeons forever, for the sake of passed victims.

That's great news. Sad that the gal is gonne forever
