Delay

I went to attend the preliminary conference of a case that I am handling today.

Aside from the fact that the schedule for the pretrial of the case that I am handling is scheduled on October next year another incident in court almost made me cry.

I heard sobs from the gallery that I was forced to glance at my back. I saw a female inmate and an older woman sobbing.

I knew the story of the inmate. She already stayed in jail for three years. Today was also the preliminary hearing of her case. She knew that her pre trial will be on September 2016.

Imagine the agony of waiting.

And this is what we call justice.

Sigh. :(
