Who in the authorities do we turn to for help? Even our Judicial system has seriously lacked Judicial standards and judicial review overhauls. Nothing to alleviate or remedies to justify reasons for cases being abruptly dismissed. Plenty bias in our Justice system, no justice in the system to bring direct outcomes in the future," another user stated in the comment section.
