If you haven't heard from the news yet, Erap got 40 years for plunder. He's acquitted on the charge of perjury though, and so is his son, Jinggoy. I ask you then, what do you think of these turn of events?
Did he deserve what he got?
Personally, I think he did. The facts of the case were clear even way back during the impeachment trial. So even though it's almost six years late, at least this has some measure of legal closure. As for the social effect... well, that remains to be seen.
