American Justice

I wanted to post this since last week, but couldn't .. i finally got some free time, hope it's not making the story older, i just want to express my point of view.
First of all i have to say that i have nothing against the american people, i love them, i love their contry, i love their culture, i hate their government.

Ok, so what's up. A year ago there was suposed to be a great rock concert, which was being organized by one of the most loved musicians from Romania, Teo Peter. Just before the concert to start (i think it was a day beofre), while being in a taxi, he was hit by US Marine Staff Sergeant Christopher Van Goethem, who was driving his car, under the influence. As a result, Teo Peter lost his life. RIP

What happens next? Van Goethem is being quickly sent back in the USA in order to be examined in a military preliminary which to decide if a trial should be followed or not. Sounds almost decent, except that he broke a rule in our country, and he should have been trialed here!

Last week the bomb dropped. Christopher Van Goethem was found guilty by false in declaration and the obstruction of justice. Wait a minute, something doesn't sound right. Where's the murder? Apparently major Stackhouse, Cristopher's lawyer invoked the fact that there was no evidence Teo Peter was in the taxi that night. Now i don't know how right or wrong this sounds for you people, but this was one of the most dissapointing cases i've ever heard of.

This is a mokery, not just to the address of Teo Peter's family, but towards our whole country. Let's not forget that Romania has been an ally of the United States for the past years and at the time of the accident, our countruy had 800 military troops deported in Iraq.
