2 Croatians acquitted of
Balkan war crimes
In this
article CNN wrote about two men being tried, and convicted of war crimes in
Croatia recently being acquitted. Ante Gotovina was sentences to 24 years in prison. Mladen
Markac was sentenced to 18 years in prison. Gotovina and Markac were charged
for participating in an ethnic cleansing in 1995. Gotovina was in charge of the
Croatians split military district, and Markac was head of the Interior
Ministry's Special Police. The two men were acquitted after the court found
errors in the evidence.
I think this article is very
interesting. I never understand how people can basically ruin other people
lives by accusing them of something wrong. When you convict someone you are not
just taking away their freedom your taking away everything they have and when
you wrongfully convict someone on false evidence you are basically ruining
their lives, and not giving them the chance they deserve. I wish we had a
better system to avoid wrongful convictions and give people the freedom they deserve.
