   The worst butchers and killers and assassins in history will finally get to know the verdict for the worst ever murders on earth. The brutality of all of these self-confessed animals has surpassed that of the Romanovs massacre.

   The whole nation has waited too long for this historic moment when the historic verdict n the most gruesome murder and mayhem on earth will be read out.

   The absconding killers should be brought in from errorist nations harboring them and punished as soon as possible along with the killers residing in the condemned death cells at Dhaka Central Jail.

   I saw in some comments that the 2001-06 BNP government was accused of stalling the trial. Let us set the record straight on this. The appeal of the case remained stalled in the Appellate Division during the last half year of the 1996-2001 AL government. They could have arranged a special bench and finished the trial then. But they did not. After BNP took over, it was the same problem, the lack of enough judges who could hear the appeal, that prevented completion of the process.

   When the current government took over, they expanded the size of the Appellate Division and appointed three of the justices: Mozammel Hossain, B K Das, and S K Sinha, who were in the bench that handed down the verdict. Law Minister Shafiq Ahmed lied and told the nation that this expansion was carried out to cut the logjam of cases in the Supreme Court. This lie was later refuted by the Registrar of the Supreme Court, who showed statistics that only slightly over four thousand cases are currently pending at the Appellate Division.

   Can BNP be faulted for not taking affirmative steps to finish this trial? Certainly. But that’s not the same as stalling the trial process.

   Tacit, what’s the explanation for so many judges being embarrassed at that time to be on the bench during their tenure?

   If you are a judge, you should embarrass yourself if you think you are under pressure to sway on way or other. In 2000, there were lathi michil led by senior minister warning against any overturning of the death sentence. After that, can you blame any self respecting judge for being embarrassed? And after the way Moudud Ahmed and others interfered in the Ekushey TV and Jail Killing cases under BNP, can you blame the judges for being embarrassed under BNP? The fault here isn’t the judges’.

   And yes, BNP does hold responsibility. Moudud Ahmed now says finishing the trial establishes rule of law. Excuse me, wasn’t he the law minister? Why didn’t he take affirmative action then? And more importantly, why did he create the situation where judges felt they couldn’t deliver justice?

   If anyone in the nation’s twisted history has tampered with the laws and constitution of the country pandering
   to the political plan of a reactionary party as BNP and earlier giving a much required civilian prop to a
   military autocrat, it is Moudud Ahmed. I don’t know anybody as briliantly mischievous as he is, someone who
   has penned the greatest damage to the country.

   Judges started feeling embarassed during the AL regime, as Jyoti Bhai mentioned, which lead to the then-Home Minister Mohammed Nasim leading a “lathi michil” towards the Supreme Court.

   Submitting to any judicial system requires having some confidence in the judges. This means not asking why judges would feel embarassed, just like it means not asking whether there is any significance to the fact that three of the five-justice bench, which judged this case, were appointed to their current position by the AL government a mere five months ago.
