Daniel in Yaracuy has another elegantly done post comparing and contrasting two court verdicts in two highly politicized cases, one for the opposition, and one for the ruling party. As may be imagined in Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela, the reality shows that Chavistas get about three times as much ‘justice’ as Venezuela’s battered opposition.

I’ll add one more editorial note that Daniel didn’t: I don’t believe any of these verdicts reflects the truth of what happened and none of the people going to jail on either side had anything to do with the murders. It’s all politics, jumping from the pockets of kangaroo courts.

Daniel’s short, fine piece is here.
