NO JUSTICE

I read the article ``He proved he's not the father, but judge says he still has to pay'' (Sept. 14, MetroNews). I am outraged by this.

I do not know Federico Ampey, but I have been following his story and cannot believe what our judicial system has come to.

How can we rely on a court system that does not protect the innocent?

Until every citizen stands up to this kind of injustice, the courts will keep up this communistic behavior.

It used to be you were innocent until proved guilty, but not any more.
