The people of Mexico are standing up to be heard. The justice system in Mexico is in the process of radical reform and what they need is support from thier neighbors.
"On a recent evening, the 30-year-old lawyer explained Mexico's new rules of justice to a class of 200 professionals with the clarity of a preschool teacher: "The accused is IN-NO-CENT until proven guilty! Confessions cannot be coerced. Which means the person cannot be submitted to ...?" She paused for a response.
"Torture," several students answered in unison."
With Democrats in charge in Washington the Mexican government can be helped to speed up these reforms and secure human rights and prosperity for the people of Mexico.
"Under the old rules, suspects are routinely paraded in front of cameras before they have been charged, sometimes holding weapons allegedly used in crimes. Lawyers often pay witnesses to write favorable testimony, Gonzalez said, and there are no cross-examinations of witnesses, emotional courtroom exchanges or clever closing arguments."
Thier is no fence or surveillance system than can do the job of a society that gives people the freedom and security to prosper.
