230: Not Even Looking Or In Proximity

One day it is that suicide allegation in the preceding post. Another day, it is that story I mentioned before about the guy who after being sentenced suddenly declared as a witness. Another time, it was making a deal with a complicit under the allegation that it was needed to get evidences against a guy who was falsely claiming sales, even though the records of the fake business are there and stores like Walmart and Costco were allegedly buyers. Suspicious or unjustified things like these should be found after gaining some special access and conducting an exhausting search then cause a big shock when shown to the outside, not appear like this to someone watching TV at his home without any effort to focus or search for the like. This is not the result of transparency but an expression of how much corruption is immune here.

229: Showing corruption fighting here

Yesterday, I watched (on the HLN TV network) part of one of those crime investigation shows. The show was about a serial rapist who turned out to be a high executive of a corporation with apparently enough connections to get him a free pass even on crimes at this level. He himself tells those whom he rapes that he is a big thing and they could never succeed going against him. No or only very little prosecution happened to him until the good guy focus of the show, the investigator who was assigned to the case, found about the connection of that guy to those crimes and proceeded all the way to arrest the guy waiting for trial. This seems a nice turn of events and one would be waiting to see how the corruption that supported that guy would make him fare with the court system, but nothing of that happen. He did not even reach the court. What supposedly happened according to the show was that the investigator was surprised the next day when he did not find that guy in his cell. When the investigator asked he was told that the guy paid his bail and went out. To where? Supposedly to no other place but the cemetery where his father was buried to commit suicide there.
Can you believe this? Imagine the sedation toward corruption in this country if this was supposed to be a story about fighting it. The show did not even bother to go into things supporting that really what happened.
