In reply to Clueless.

I am not at all versed on the subject, but I understand that the Commission’s assessment is one of the intermediary step in the procedure leading to Parliament’s impeachment of a member of the judiciary. Isn’t this what happened in Farrugia Sacco’s case?

[Daphne – No, and no. Prime Minister Gonzi brought the impeachment motion before parliament in December 2012. It was held up until now only because Muscat said then that he wanted to wait to see what the Commission would say. There will be more delaying tactics now, by arrangement. They have started already, with Farrugia Sacco’s lawyers writing to the Speaker to challenge the validity of the motion now that we have a new prime minister. The solution to that is simple: the new prime minister can bring another motion before the house immediately. But impeachment motions are not interrupted by changes in government. Parliament is a separate and distinct institution.]

In any case, someone must have the authority to relieve Carol Peralta from his duties albeit temporarily.

Apparently the Christmas Party and treats are still going on in that particular hall.

Why is Carol Peralta not suspended until the Commission for Justice Administration decides on whether he should be impeached?

[Daphne – It is not the Commission which decides on impeachment. It is parliament, with a two-thirds majority of the house.]

I hope there is a technical reason because otherwise the Commission and the Chief Justice are, in my view, responsible for Peralta’s miscarriages of justice, including in this case.

Logically, Peralta is saying that it’s OK for people to go bashing others as long as their injuries are not permanent.

Carol Peralta by his sentencing is encouraging violence. Apparently, he was never a victim of a crime.

“Two of them have ‘FUCK JUSTICE’ tattoos on their necks, which the magistrate asked them to read out in court, presumably so that he could go ahead and do precisely that.”

Fantastic comment!

No wonder some people take the law in their own hands.

The courts are already doing a pretty good job at “fucking justice” up all on their own.

This Carol Peralta is unbelievable.
