In his unconceited post Sr. GF does not reveal the name of the chief judge who is none other than Justice Salvador Figueiredo. Intresting enough the judge also once challenged some upper echelons of the society for their wrong doings in the place he currently resides. BC
The following is a summary?of astory told to me ... ? A young public prosecutor (procurador), newly-appointed to Guin?-Bissau after earning his degree in Lisbon, successfully prosecuted a white Portuguese man for having kicked a local man and broken his spine. The young?prosecutor was later asked why he had taken the white man to task for kicking a black man, something that was apparently common in those days. He replied, 'A kick on any man is deplorable; but to kick so hard as to break someone's spine is murderous'. ? This young public prosecutor later rose to be a chief judge in Macau, for some 10 years before Macau was handed over to China. Now retired, he still serves the Macanese people providing judicial advice as and when required, mostly in defending cases (the other side of prosecution:-) ). ? Needless to state he is Goan... ? Regards, ? Gabriel.
