Today in History

     1621 - The first duel in the New World of America reportedly took place in Massachusetts' Plymouth Colony.

     1778 - American forces entered Philadelphia as the British withdrew during the Revolutionary War.

     1812 - The United States issued a declaration of war on Great Britain beginning the War of 1812. The war was declared because of Britain’s violations of America’s rights on the high seas and the involvement of the British in Indian uprisings on the American frontiers.

     1815 - Former French emperor Napoleon was defeated in the Battle of Waterloo, Belgium. Napoleon had faced two armies: one army led by the Duke of Wellington, who commanded a combined force of Belgian, Dutch, and British troops, and the other army led by Marshal Blucher, who commanded a Prussian force. Almost 50,000 men were killed or severely injured. The Battle of Waterloo lasted only one day.

admission of the crime had been made by the accused when they were all in jail under detention.  I was of course shocked by the revelation.  My quest for justice had resulted in an injustice and I had been an unwitting participant. But why is this little story being recalled.  It is recalled to show that Philippine justice system is flawed with so many deficiencies.  Many people who are really guilty sometimes go unpunished and go scot-free and many innocent persons do get convicted in Courts.  You can bet your life that not all death convicts inhabiting death row are guilty of the crimes they have been convicted.  Which makes one seriously think of joining the ranks of advocates for the abolition of Capital Punishment in the Philippines.

     By way of footnote, the said guilty farmer whom I defended got his comeuppance several years after he was acquitted. While walking home, he was shot to death by unknown persons who up to the present are unapprehended.
