No statement by the Labour on Yorgen Fenech’s verdioct

The Labour Party did not issue a statement on the Yorgen Fenech’s verdict. This needs to be explained.

Under Joseph Muscat and also subsequently under Robert Abela, the Labour Party has fostered a culture of hatred against Daphne Caruana Galizia especially with false and conspiratorial narratives that it spread on its political propaganda and news broadcasrts.

They have successfully presented Daphne as an object of hate apart from depicting her as an undesirable.

There is in the Labour Party genuine disinterest and manufactured hatred for Daphne and some of its members, top officials and politicians are also genuinely happy that Yorgen Fenech was found not guilty whilst being aware of the grave fact that Yorgen Fenech admitted to paying for the murder of himself. What’s more worrying is that they don’t find the liberation of Yorgen Fenech as morally repugnant. The Prime Minister believes that it is normal to navigate himself out of this crisis by bragging about his reforms.

This is a testament to the worrying and decadent moral state of the Labour Party today. There is no genuine interest for justice and neither any concern about the safety and the lives of Maltese journalists, who Labour considers as their direct rivals for being independent or for simply not pulling the official government and party line.

Ultimately, there is no moral guidance in the leadership of the country in all of this, and only Alex Borg is minimally acting like a statesman in this manner.

Unfortunately, the President has so far only been silent but in such a moment of crisis her word is needed more than ever.

    When trying to understand why the jurors voted the way they did, it is essential to assess the situation from a psychological perspective. There may have been a range of behavioural and psychological factors at play, any of which could have had a significant impact on the outcome of the trial. Surprisingly, nobody appears to have considered or even hinted at this possibility.
    Nine complete strangers were placed in an extraordinary situation, subjected to enormous pressure over an extended period of time. They were deprived of normal social interaction and communication and were unable to sleep at home or spend regular time with their families. They had no control over the food they ate or when they could rest. They were under constant supervision, day and night, with strict instructions not to leave their rooms in the evenings. To compound matters, the jurors were also exposed to uncomfortably high temperatures throughout this period.
    The jurors were placed in these circumstances without their consent and once the trial was over, they were not going to receive any recognition or compensation for what they had endured, while everyone else working on the trial was paid for their involvement.
    They had no means of protesting or escaping their situation. However, they did possess one powerful avenue through which they could express their frustration and make themselves heard and that was through their final verdict. Having endured the same ordeal together, the nine jurors may also have developed a strong sense of camaraderie. This shared experience could have forged a bond that not only shielded them from external pressures but also encouraged them to act collectively as a unified group.
    As the pressure intensified and the trial dragged on, a sense of rebellion against their circumstances may have emerged within the group, possibly encouraged by one or more influential members. This could have led the jurors to deliberately behave in a manner contrary to what was expected of them.
    In such a scenario, the details and evidence presented during the trial may have become secondary, overshadowed by the jurorsโ€™ desire to express their frustration and protest against what they perceived as the injustice of the situation to which they had been subjected.
