St. Maarten Private Eye

You do the crime, you do the time. But that said, Marcel Loor is a scapegoat, a guilty scapegoat, but still a scapegoat. Do these investigators mean to tell me there was nobody from the labour department involved. Like hello, the prostitutes Loor was fixing resident permits for also needed work permits - so are we to assume that the Labour permits were legally done? Nah, I think not, I smell a rat. And what about reports that some very high ranking persons in the Police Dept. heard about Loor and did nothing? And what about Loor's girlfriend, shouldn't she be facing charges too? Justice must not only be done, but it must appear to be done. In this case, I think Justice is half-blind.

PS. I can't say I feel too sorry for Mr. Loor though since when he comes out after serving less than 2 years, he'll be out by New Year's 09 - he'll still have what at least a half million US dollars left. I know I could work with that.
