Our courts are unbelievably consistent in treating with extreme harshness anything related to drugs - including possession - and their extreme leniency on anything related to violence including murder! http://robertcallus.wordpress.com/2011/10/12/the-punishment-rarely-fits-the-crime/

A Nigerian was kept in custody for the possession of half a gram of weed! As if he's going to flee the country for a "crime" that rarely carries a prison sentence. A victimless crime that shouldn't even be a crime in the first place.

The man above is allegedly part of an organized ring of crime, tried to kill two police officers, has actually been on the run from the police for three weeks.

Guess who's locked and who's out on bail?

Presumably these key witnesses are not banned from the rest of Malta.

And a Nigerian gets remanded into custody for possession of a half gramme of cannabis?

To make matters worse, Gonzi thinks the judiciary deserve a 12k pay rise!

Sack them all. Start afresh.
