There will always be people who disagree with the outcome of a
trial. The fact is that due process was followed and Took had been
given a fair trial. Justice has been seen to be
done. If justice means everyone in the country must agree
with a verdict, there will never be justice. It is precisely
because disagreements are expected to occur that the constitution
of the Appeal Court is always an odd number of judges, so that
there will always be a majority verdict.
You sound very confident and have full faith in the judgement
passed, I cannot do so. however due to the lack of visible justice
in my eyes that has been carried out. What has happened is a
conviction passed down based on circumstantial evidence which is
not solely limited to accused's actions.
You are entitled to your opinion. Many others hold a different
opinion. In fact, some forumners feel that the legal process had
been 'too generous' to him, allowing his defence team to suddenly
bring in evidence of a psychiatric illness late in the trial.
Forensics show the evidence of physical harm, it does not reveal
the motive nor prove beyond reasonable doubt that Took was the sole
accused, or whether he was merely present.
Not only did the DNA evidence prove Took's presence at the crime
scene, he left his fingerprints on the tape used to tie
Huang Na up. The forensic evidence is overwhelming. Took
murdered Huang Na and deserved to hang many times over.
I do not know all the facts admittedly, but if we are to look
into the motive of the whole case, the mother is very much suspect
in her behavior and I am still of the opinion that Took must not be
hanged until Huang Na's mother's innocence is proven openly in a
convincing manner.
Huang Na's mother is certainly no saint but she did not murder
Huang Na. Took Ah Hao did and that's clear as crystal. It will be a
travesty of justice to ignore the overwhelming forensic evidence
and deny Huang Na the justice she deserves.
