Phillippines - Comment on poor judicial system (quadraplegic found guilty of rape!)

[Rachel]

I found this story and wanted to share it with you, as I think it is utterly beyond belief!
I'm going to try to track down the address of this man and see if I can't send him a card for support.
What a terrible situation!

JUDGE Andres B. Soriano of the Bulacan Regional Trial Court in Malolos will probably go down in history as the judge who convicted a completely crippled man for rape.
His decision can even make it to the Guinness Book of World Records.
Ronaldo “Jeff” Quesada, 33, a quadriplegic, was sentenced to life imprisonment. A quadriplegic is somebody who can’t move his hands and feet.
Quesada can’t even answer the call of nature without being carried to the toilet by at least two men. He weighs 150 lbs.
Since he can’t move his hands and feet, Jeff has difficulty crawling on his stomach.
So, how could he have mounted the complainant, who was 16 years old at the time of the alleged rape, and who Jeff claims was his girlfriend? The complainant is now 19 years old.
But how could there be penetration since Jeff can’t move his upper and lower extremities?
