How do you feel right now?

[Juan Martinez]

early morning five years ago, a mother went home to see her own 6 year-old daughter, bathed in her own blood, sprawled on the ground, and lifeless. she was clobbered to death by two monsters using a steel pipe who earlier had a spat with her husband. the horrific incident was witnessed by her other 11 year-old daughter.

one of the malefactors was arrested right there and then. he is undergoing trial for the crime of murder. but the other killer escaped.

this is a story of a mother's unrelenting quest for justice.

some months back, the mother, after practically going to so many places looking for this criminal, informed us that she got a tip from somebody in her village that the escapee was collared for another crime involving drugs in some far away place but had been using a different identity. instead of us verifying it for her, she volunteered to do it. the information positive. she came back and reported the matter to us. thus, we asked the court for an order directing the killer's jailer to bring his body to court next hearing so that he could be arraigned.

meanwhile, the case against the malefactor who was arrested was already half-way through. the daughter who witnessed the incident had already narrated a heart-rending account of what had happened that fateful day. she was already due for cross-examination.

this morning when i called her up to the witness stand for her cross-examination she told me that the other accused was present. i informed the court about this. the latter ordered a temporary suspension of the hearing to give the public attorney the opportunity to advice this accused on the consequences of whatever plea he would enter.

when the case was called again and the information for murder was read to him, the accused pleaded GUILTY! right at the corner of my eye, the mother and child were crying. they might be unlettered, but i was sure as hell that they perfectly understood what was happening. my goodness! inside the court you could hear a pin drop. i was dumbstruck too. i did not expect that he would admit what he did. for the first time, i did not know what to feel. i just felt a tingling sensation that came from my shoulders going up to my nape.

now, looking back, i have this epiphany that, in our job, this is it that keep us going, that somehow you are part of justice being done.

Wow just wow. Reading this. Grim reading. But to endure and persevere the way she did is amazing. Absolutely brutal what she went thru.

I am sure that you're going to look back at that moment with fervent pride and honor, bro.

I would have cried with them...

i'll give it to the mother bro. it was a cold case, but her quest made her persevere. imagine 5 years that guy was on the run. the law has finally caught up with him because one mother would not give up.

i didn't cry because i couldn't, at least not in public, but i pumped a fist. if i could convict his cohort, i would be very happy.
