    Arrow U.S. Marine formally charged with murder

    Prosecutors in the Philippines have formally charged a U.S. Marine with the October murder of a transgender woman.

    Pfc. Joseph Scott Pemberton is accused of strangling and drowning Jennifer Laude in a toilet bowl, a case that Filipino advocates have called a “hate crime.”

    But what does one call him/her? I would name he/she simply 'it'

    This lynch mob mentality is an embarrassment to the Filipino people.

    Your obscene language will not be tolerated, this is your first and last warning.

    You can discuss this in an adult manner if you like, but insults will not be tolerated

    I remember when Jennifer Laude's German BF climbed over a fence and pushed a guard
    OMG they really went to town on him over that
    If whitey does anything wrong they go totally overboard
    They even stopped him leaving the country

    Overboard?
    He climbed over a military security fence..
    There were military guards inside,with guns there to defend the military compound!!
    I think he should feel lucky to be alive.

    He killed someone, regardless of the gender. He must serve time in jail. How many here in the UK would want a foreigner to be in jail if he/she killed someone? There are plenty of news about such instances here in the UK and lots of you guys post it here in the forum in disgust whenever the killers/criminals get away with just a slap on the hand. Why would it be wrong or an embarrassment for the Philippines to want the same thing to this American guy who killed a Filipino?

    ... that's as it should be ... unless the killing was committed in self-defence.

    I think we should wait for the court case too expose some real evidence before any injection of conjecture as to what really happened and why.
    Fortunately,for this guy,the U.S military will make VERY sure that he is defended and represented correctly for the duration of the trial which is not normally the case for foreigners here..Thats a fact.
    Most murder cases are not even reported..(Accept if there is a nasty foreigner involved)
    If he is found guilty then he will suffer for the rest of his life in a Filipino hell hole.
    End of.
    Most murders in this country are committed by Filipino`s and go unsolved or are forgotten/forgiven either because of blood money or because the Police are not paid to look for evidence.
    Justice here sucks,no doubt about it!

    I think you can say the same thing here in the UK too. I think Dedworth posted a lot of threads about giving a slap on the hands with criminals here.

    I think you will find that a murder scene investigation in the UK is absolutely NOTHING like a murder scene investigation in the Philippines these days.
    The way the British Police operate and use science now,you can pretty much say any guilty verdict based on DNA evidence is pretty much indisputable.
    Here???
    OH never mind!!

    I agree assuming he's found guilty.
    It's right and proper to have a trial and let the evidence be heard.

    Correct Marco. Thats why I`ll watch this case closely.
    I just hope that the U.S don't feel they have too much invested interest here in the R.P to simply hand this young Marine over to the mob..
    Somehow,I doubt very much that they will.

    In the UK he would also be presumed innocent until it was proved otherwise beyond reasonable doubt....for those who have already tried and convicted him.

    I'm sure the US like we do before we extradite anyone are entitled to assurances regarding his fair trial and his treatment before and after any subsequent conviction. After all he's not been proved guilty yet.

    Some people have long memories though fred, there were 3 murders last year in our town, all from criminal, terrorist activities from many years before. I guess time catches up when they least expected it.

    Agreed Steve..Often times though,its just the memories that remain..
    Look what happened in Maguindanao.. How much further are the families to receiving justice there?
    Ellah Joy was murdered in Cebu.. Only suspects were foreigners.
    The real culprit remains free and the precious evidence back then was squandered and lost.. Forever.

    Nothing was going to happen as there were too many pressmen there also
    He probably only did it because he was egged on by the reporters
    I still think the German guy got a raw deal and was treated in a disgusting manner
    There was nothing in that compound worth protecting anyway

    Of course they will not and if convicted his term in jail will probably be served in the USA after a couple of months in a Pinoy jail and i think that sucks

    Nothing like that muppet that thinks that foreigners are innocent until proven guilty in the Philippines.

    Nothing was going to happen as there were too many pressmen there also
    He probably only did it because he was egged on by the reporters
    I still think the German guy got a raw deal and was treated in a disgusting manner
    I think the idiot was treated very leniently considering he broke the law on camera for all to see. I commend the guards for keeping their cool although they should have had his face on the ground in a heartbeat.
    He should have got a good kicking and 6 months inside (off camera) and then deported IMO.
