Item confirming our conclusion that corrupt "split trials" are arranged to let guilty parties escape justice. This seems common where _guilty_ parties have power connections with police, lawyers, politicians, bureaucrats finance etc., and where the victim is from a minority, non-powerful group, ie., working-class, women, black, poor etc. START OF ITEM From "The Independent" an English broadsheet Family of stabbed Sikh waiter walks out of inquest By Terri Judd 22 May 2001 The family of a Sikh waiter stabbed to death in the street yesterday walked out of an inquiry into the failed murder investigation in a protest at the way they have been treated. The killing of Surjit Singh Chhokar has been described as Scotland's equivalent of the murder of black London teenager Stephen Lawrence. No one has been convicted. The victim's father, Darshan Chhokar spoke in Punjabi as his wife Gurdev, covered her face. "The pain and grief of the last two and a half years will never leave us," he said. "Surjit was our only boy and our hope for life. We had dreams and expectations for him but they are all finished. "Our family has been destroyed. I say again, I want an independent public inquiry. I am fed up with you people. In two courtrooms you could not give us justice." The 32-year-old Sikh waiter, from Overtown, Lanarkshire, was killed outside his girlfriend's home in 1998. Three men charged over the death blamed each other for the murder during two separate trials. Yesterday the Glasgow public session of an inquiry chaired by Dr Raj Jandoo into the Crown Office's treatment of the Chhokars was told the suspects declined to give evidence. After the hearing, Aamer Anwar, lawyer for the family, said Mr Jandoo's inquiry and the investigation by Sir Anthony Campbell, of the Supreme Court of Northern Ireland, into the decision-making process had been "utterly discredited". The two inquiries were announced in November last year at the end of the second trial, in which Andrew Coulter, 23, from Wishaw, and David Montgomery, 19, of Motherwell, were found not guilty of murder. They blamed Mr Coulter's cousin, 32-year-old Ronnie Coulter, of Wishaw, who had been cleared at a previous trial. In a statement to yesterday's hearing, Mr Anwar said both inquiries had been compromised by their terms of reference. He accused the Jandoo inquiry of leaking findings that branded Strathclyde Police institutionally racist but found the Crown Office was incompetent rather than racist. Mr Anwar added: "I pay tribute to the courage, tenacity and perseverance of the Chhokar family, They never wanted to be campaigners, but the Scottish criminal justice system gave them little alternative. Today is not the end." END OF ITEM - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Perceptions" note: 1) We believe an audit of these cases will show that the agent who directly or indirectly caused these split trials is at the center of corruption in local law, policing, finance, bureaucracy, politics etc. 2) You will note that very similar process ensured that the known murderers of Stephen Lawrence escaped justice. Both cases are recent and the responsible agents will be clearly visible, but the local 'authorities' will _not_ be eager to find the guilty parties. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Evidence file for "Laworjustice" http://www.perceptions.couk.com/laworjustice.html#ploy - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - FURTHER REFERENCES GO - "search perceptions" - in SEARCH-ENGINE file-ID www.perceptions.couk.com/evilroots.txt
