U.S. Marine formally charged with murder

[fred]

Alleged murder.

In some people`s book he has been tried, convicted and should be hung up already!

It's because he is a foreigner and - much worse - a U.S marine.

Most ordinary Filipinos are not against the U.S. forces being here helping to defend R.P territory.

A small minority of Communist sympathizers funded from China win the day again in the press.

Murder is Murder in my book and what victims sexuality happens to be has nothing to do with

Murder is murder yes.. It just depends on if it is a foreigner or a Filipino that was the victim.
Murder of foreigners by Filipino`s is 3rd page news and is long forgotten before it is resolved (usually not) in a court room.

Look at the case of the US marine that was murdered in Bel air, a while back.
4 men murdered him right in front of a CCTV camera and were all let out on bail by the Makati regional trial court.

Two of the suspects were not convicted of any crime and two were convicted of homicide and given probation,” Goldberg said. “And so nobody has served the day for that brutal crime. We don’t know why that would happen.”

MANILA, Philippines - The United States is disappointed with a recent Makati City court ruling on the killing of a US Marine outside Bel-Air Village in Makati by four Filipino men in November 2012.

I dont see anyone on here bitching about the many cases such as this.. Sympathy for a German fruit cake that scaled a Military security fence?
Damn!

This case was/is a travesty of justice also.

I took a keen interest in this case as I know that area very well.

The fact that these murderers were given probation was an insult to the victim.

Of course money buys many things.

Pemberton is hardly a lone victim in all of this and the USA will be doing everything they can behind the scenes.

You seem fast to jump to this guys defence without a second thought for the person who was killed.

I want to see justice in this case without interference from a superpower.
