| Message | This is insane. Judgements don't necessarily mean correctness. That's why it is always necesary to allow the right to appeal. |
| Date | 13:31:40, June 14, 2007 CET | From | Gaduri Resistencia | To | Debating the The Court System |
| Message | Precisely. No verdict is certain: there is always some degree of doubt. Therefore, the right to appeal should be universal. |
