Chile, and maybe Argentina, are the only two places south of the US border where you might get proper justice and the legal system is least corrupt. Not saying that there isn't corruption in the US, just that it's less there than in any other place south of the US border.

[@bellabell737]

Are you sure that’s not 🇨🇦 you’re talking about?

[@twilisols]

​@@edortiz4496 I'm an American citizen living in Chile, and judicial corruption is certainly a problem here. I have never had contact with the Chilean criminal justice system, but there are frequent news reports on the subject. Chilean police, however, are famously incorrupt. I would hate to be charged with a serious crime here, since Chile has no trial by jury option, and the prison conditions are awful. They make US prisons look like 5-star hotels.

[@twilisols]

​​​​​@@edortiz4496That being said, you may be right about the Chilean justice system being the least corrupt. Just that "least corrupt" isn't saying much when we're talking about Latin America. The main issues are lifetime appointments for judges, no trial by jury, and double jeopardy. The US justice system is fairly unique on the latter two points, and I think most Americans aren't able to appreciate it until we've seen how things work elsewhere. I would definitely encourage other Americans to visit Chile, and even move here if they appreciate the language and culture (or are married to a Chilean like I am), but there are definitely downsides to be aware of. It isn't North America and that's okay, we shouldn't expect it to be.

Never talk to cops!”, which was told to me by a retired cop. His advice was aways ask for a lawyer, no matter what! You can always go from Not Guilty to Guilty, immediately, if you want. Not so easy to go from Guilty to Not Guilty. You always have the opportunity to tell your story at any time, showing remorse. When the Interrogator’s claim to want to help you, they are lying. They have many specific techniques to manipulate you. They can legally lie to you all they want. Their only goal is to close the case. They are not your friends. They will tell you that talking to them is the only way you can show you’re not a monster, or show remorse, acting like this will be your only time to explain your side. That is a lie in itself. Talk to a lawyer anytime they want to talk to you. Get up and leave, when they say you can. Them saying you must have something to hide or it makes you look guilty, if you obtain one. This is not true. Many times, polygraphs read false positives that say you’re lying, which is why they’re not admissible in court. You have the right to a lawyer. Use it. If you’re arrested, you may request one when you’re booked into the jail, and talked to the judge, so you’ll have to stay at least one night in jail, but it’s just best to talk consult with a lawyer, so you fully understand your rights. Even if you’re innocent. There is a specific list of specific techniques, called the “Reid” technique, which is used to totally manipulate you to confess, whether guilty or not. They will say, they have enough evidence to convict “right now”. That probably is a lie right there to you. It’s because they need more evidence, or strengthen the case. Just remember, their goal is to close the case, and that’s all.

Everybody grieves differently, some people hold it in and stay strong, some fall apart, some constantly laugh a little when dealing with trauma. There is no “right way” to grieve. I can’t stand when I hear cops say “He or she didn’t even cry at all” that doesn’t matter. When my mom passed right in front of me and my dad and brother, I absolutely fell apart. I couldn’t breathe I couldn’t eat, my brother never cried or looked phased but that’s because he was with her through her suffering for months and felt like her suffering was over and now she could rest. My dad had his head in the clouds, sometimes laughing when he’d start reminiscing about her. WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT.

Excellent reporting on Ann Bender. This was an amazing story. Hats off to 48hours team. May God bless that poor woman who has lived so much trauma. May she heal to the best state possible. Oh, Ann! Im so sorry for all your suffering! Only Jesus can truly comfort you. May you find rest in Him & have true divine peace. He also suffered the keenest anguish. He also experienced brutal betrayal. Then, evil men, inspired by the prince of darkness, beat Him beyond recognition and then murd3ered the innocent Lamb of God, as His holy Father covered Him in supernatural darkness and stood beside His beloved Son, as His tortured body and supreme mental suffering took His pure life & He died on the Roman cross. But in His anguish, He was the victor in the Great Controversy. By faith, in the character of His Father, He cried out : Father, into Your ( holy loving hands) I commit My Spirit!. He had the victory by faith. The battle was won, for each & every one of us, by non violent selfless means. Only satan uses force. He lost. Now supernatural comfort can come to each one of us who is suffering. And the promise of eternal life where there is no more suffering, is sure, if you accept it as a completely free gift. May Ann find peace through our gentle Savior and each one of you reading this, that is suffering right now. If you have never read the Bible, please turn to the 4th chapter in the New Testament, The Book of John. You will find your best Friend there.

Not specifically regarding the first case, but it has always bothered me whenever police say it couldn't have been a burglary-gone-wrong because of valuable stuff not taken.
