UK Jury found an MP and an Officer of the Law GUILTY of CORRUPTION
A UK Member of Parliament , David Chaytor was brought down by his greed and stupidity. This law-breaking law maker admitted before the jury, fraudulently claiming more than £20,000 in expenses. He was sentenced 18 months in jail. Does this case sound familiar? Very familiar, I should say.

Another celebrated case in UK is the jailing of an Officer of the Law, Commander Ali Dizaei. Find out more at: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1249382/Ali-Dizaei-GUILTY-perverting-course-justice.html
These prove that corrupt people do exist in countries with a jury system. The difference is that the severity is minimal compared to the unabated, widespread corrupt practises and the number of corrupt people in the Philippines. Our flawed judicial system allows corruption to flourish.
The Vizconde Massacre and the Garcia Plea Bargain are just examples.
