Unless you can show me how the Mexican system treated Ms. Martin differently than any other person currently being processed by it, I fail to see the unfairness. Yes, compared to the Canadian system of "innocent until proven guilty" it is an unfair system. However, that is not the standard in play here. In Mexico, under their system, was Ms. Martin treated the same as any other accused person? I believe so, based on all available reports.

I disagree on respecting thier system because i don't support human rights violations.

Well, it has been reported her boss bilked folks out of $60M along the way. I can see a situation where someone would want a piece of that action, especially if they were that close to the "kingpin". It's not like she randomly stumbled upon the website and decided to invest - she was friends with the kingpin and had just been given more money to go away than she had earned while in his employ. I've been at this company 10 and a half years now, and if they came to me and said "here's 14 years of your salary to go away", I'd be gone - but I'd wonder what was up as would everyone I told.

I'd be wondering too.
Still i'd like to see all the facts in the case before i pass judgement om her.

Is there any evidence of this corruption in the case of Ms. Martin? I certainly haven't heard of any. Just because there has been corruption in the system doesn't mean the entire system is corrupt and it is impossible to get a fair (by their standards) trial.

Who's to say with all the political pressure the Mexican judicial system/govt was under that they decided to find her guilty to save face and have her shipped out of their country and off their hands.
Seriously, how can one prove one way or another if there was or wasn't any corruption if we don't have all the facts. There's enough history in the judical system to suggest it can happen.
