    THEY MIGHT HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG BUT IN SOCIETY MOST OF US WOULD HAVE BEEN EQUALLY GUILTY IF WE WERE IN THE SAME POSITION. THE STATE SHOULD SUPPORT THEM BY GIVING THEM PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELLING

  • SIMON PETER 8 years ago

    This is just for starters and a mere comedy. When Christ eventually descends to discharge justice, there would not only be crying and weeping, but also gnashing of teeth as all. Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand.

    There should not be any sympathy for these judges. They have destroyed people's lives intentionally. They should be sent to jail if found guilty. What goes around comes around. I hope the judiciary will straighten things ...

    Mere but heartless and unrepenting mortals, set them free and their next appearances on the benche will produce no different behaviour and attitude than what the previously shown over the years

    What this Bentum lawyer hasn't seen is the tears and anguish of a victim of an armed robbery, rape, land dispute, fraud, murder, child molestation and what have you. These judges have to know that blood runs through the veins ...

  • RA 8 years ago

    Not mere mortals more like corrupt mortals. Bribery and corruption is not a norm. Accepting bribe to release criminals is a crime against humanity crying or not. They cry because they have been caught not out of remorse.

    they can cry blood, they should go and see some of the innocent ones they've been god over.

    The drum sounds nice to the drummer. They should make it easier since they already know the procedure and go to jail.

  • Silas addo 8 years ago

    They are crying becos of the embarrassment they are facing or about to face. This is how God punishes! The embarrassment alone is worse than prison sentence considering their status in society before incident.

  • ManBelhomme 8 years ago

    The one who initiated the corruption should be equally punished as the one who was corrupted. My morale question is . who amongst you would spit out honey when one deliberately or by accident pours honey in their mouth.
