Jordan Manners Case Reaches Mistrial

Quite a few weeks ago, I posted about the murder of Jordan Manners, a 15 year old in the GTA, who was shot dead in the school hallway by two miscreants who remain anonymous due to their age. Now, last Friday, the trial of the murder of Jordan Manners has come to a close, and due to a disagreement in the jury, the conclusion was a mistrial. This decision was made after 4 days in deliberation didn't change that a unanimous decision hadn't been reached yet. Quite suspiciously, Ian Nordheimer, the judge, is believed to having placed blame for this on two teenage witnesses, for not providing sufficient testimonies; while sharing the theory with the court, the jury was not informed about this information. Had the jury been told this, rather than believing there was not enough evidence at all, they would know that information had been poorly told by the two witnesses. As is to be expected, the family of the deceased ordan Manners has requested a retrial, so justice may be found.

The trial of Jordan Manners has reached quite a significant bump in the road, but I still stand by my belief that these two teenagers should be persecuted of this crime. Giorgio Mammolti, known for his proposal of a teenage curfew, is a Toronto mayoral candidate who now suggests that convicted gang members should remain on a database, with constantly added information in order to track them. I believe this is too strong, and people will disagree. This is helpful, but not a solution, as we will only be preventing the second crime, but the murder of Jordan Manners would not have necessarily been prevented by this idea. Overall, I think this problem needs a solution, but rather than mistrials and strict politicians, there should be a real solution brought forward.

Singaporean Fake Doctor Arrested

Balaji Varatharaju is a 29 year old medical student, who just finished his degree at Adalaide University; too bad his finishing didn't mean graduation. Being a determined man, he decided to still apply for his internship to Alice Springs Hospital in Australia back in March, and continued to work as an intern from then until just on February 24th. Unfortunately for the man, his trail of deceipt wasn't detected out of means of jealousy, but senior employees watching his performance, and being singularly unimpressed. Luckily the man was not a surgical intern, but unluckily, he had treated over 400 patients since his stay there. The six year degree from Adaliade that had been gotten out of 2 years there, dropping out, and forgery, was actually such a good replica that even the Medical Board of Northern Australia thought it was legitimate; the Australian Justice of the Peace's signature was even on the document! Now, after being thrown in the pen with no chance of bail, he is at risk of being charged of physical assault, because since he is not an actual doctor, his examinations of patients were not official, and abusive of the patients under law. Very soon we will probably here the fate of our fake doctor.

This man is quite ridiculous, actually, to apply for an internship with a forged document, stupidity that is probably the reason for dropping out of university and also for being caught as a fake. I would say that the general consensus is he should be thrown in jail for a long time, and I agree, because someone could have been hurt by him, directly, or indirectly; misdiagnosis, for example, is something that he easily could have committed to one of the patients. Here is one of many articles on the case, and I hope you enjoyed this article.
