    Let us all hope this judge Jaime salazar never comes here to become a judge. The fact the life imprisonment is normal in that part of the world must have miss you, but it is outrageous, but remember where it is and also remember its typical a part of a non justice system in all parts of the third world. sad,sad,sad.

    I don't understand why you wouldn't want Salazar to come here. He would fit right in with King George's idea of a perfect judge.
