When Socialists/Communists have determined you are guilty, you will be found guilty of something.
Judge Maria Lourdes Afiuni’s five-year prison sentence for “spiritual corruption” was upheld on Friday by the court that runs the case.
Nelson Afiuni, brother of Maria Lourdes Afiuni, made the decision known via Twitter. He announced that because of this decision the defence would proceed in the Supreme Court of Justice.
In March of this year, the court sentenced the jurist for this crime that is not established in the Constitution or Venezuelan laws. The TSJ argued that the former civil servant applied precautionary measures against defendants as an “act of pleasure.”
Ratifican sentencia por corrupción espiritual a la jueza Afiuni
Once again, “spiritual corruption” is nowhere found in the Venezuelan laws or Constitution. I haven’t looked, but I doubt it could be found anywhere in the world.
Her real crime was to have rendered a court decision that angered Hugo Chavez back in 2010 and the full weight of the dictatorship fell “legally” against her ever since. She already served one sentence, but apparently that was not enough.
But I am sure this will never happen in a Socialist USA.

Crimethink. Doubleplusungood.
We in the Liberal & democratic west have a problem coming to terms with how ‘justice’ works in a Socialistic tyranny.
We tend to think that those people being ground up by the apparatus of the state have transgressed one of many totalitarian laws, and have been caught. Winston Smith for instance was actively working against Big Brother in his ineffectual way.
We think that they had to do something. Beria’s boast that he could find the crime in any man had nothing to do with the laws on the books.
Truth is, the crimes one commits against the State don’t matter at all. The mincing machine doesn’t care if one has commuted any crime at all. It just wants bodies, numbers. The zeks were just arrested at random, and told what crimes they committed, then tortured into agreeing that they committed them.
The scary thing is not that that a person commits four unknowing felonies a day, but that a tyrant doesn’t care if he commits no crime at all, but will convict him just the same.
