An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
Kho Jabing is Dead...there are two parts to this saga.
Part One.
Crime and punishment...An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Nearly everyone will condemn the June 2008 brutal killing of the victim with his skull fractured into 14 parts.
Nearly everyone will have no doubt about his guilt .The due process of the judicial system goes into motion,the initial trail and then with the death sentence handed down, appeals and the final Presidential clemency appeal.
He was given the mandatory death sentence in 2010.
.Jabing"s family will accept the fact that Jabing will have to pay with his life for taking away someone else's life.
Rightfully we see justice takes its course with the hangman putting the noose around Jabing's neck and the case comes to a clinical close.
This is the proper account to the victim"s family.
Part Two. - the other perspective - Anguish and delusion.
1. In 2008, Kho Jabing did not set out to murder the China construction worker, Cao Ruyin . He did not know the victim or met the victim before. He did not bring any murder weapon that day. A tree branch was lying nearby and he used it to bash the victim's head.It was not a premeditated murder. The killing wasn't planned beforehand.
In short, it was a robbery attempt that bungled.
2. Then comes the Amendments to the mandatory death penalty regime .It became effective on 1/1/2013. The High Court re-sentenced Kho Jabing to life imprisonment and 24 strokes of the cane. A life-line was given to Kho Jabing and his family and restore our faith in humanity.
3. Here. the anguish and delusion set in.
Kho was then again re-sentenced on a sentence that was handed down by the High Court.
Of the five judges, two were against the Death sentence. It brings out the basic relevant fact that there is no consensus or total agreement on what is the appropriate sentence. And when the death sentence is again passed down, the second time, Kho Jabing lawyers, Alfred Dodwell and Jeannette Chong-Aruldoss tried valiantly to make their last minute appeal.This is Kho Jabing's right of Appeal.
4. To Kho Jabing"s family members and his parents, it seems that they have been deluded and tormented when the death sentence is passed the SECOND TIME.Their anguish is prolonged with this torment that Kho will go to see the hangman .It is their false belief that they attached validity to the Amendments to the Mandatory death penalty; and that it would spared their son's life, especially when the death sentence is commuted to life imprisonment and 24 strokes of the cane.
Perhaps. Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon can define to Kho Jabing's family that the system did not betray them with this false hope, even when his judges differ on the the view what is the appropriate sentence.
This would be the proper account to Kho Jabing's family.
