Injustice Rears It's Ugly Head AGAIN In Taiwan's Judiciary

  It's been such a long time! My time on the quiet has been much longer than I had planned, but it's been time well-spent tending to my work and life here in Saudi, chopping down the mountain of debt accumulated during the height of my legal battles against the dark forces of the National Taipei University of Nursing & Health Sciences, paying more attention to my role as the father of my two young sons, and keeping abreast of relevant news on the continued injustice of Taiwan's judiciary among other things. With some startling recent developments in the case of Zain Dean, a Briton convicted in Taipei District Court in July 2011 of manslaughter in the death of a Taiwanese man while allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol, it's a very good time to pick up where I left off by introducing his case as a more spectacular example of the prejudice, ineptitude, lack of professionalism and the farce of Taiwan's law enforcement and courts.
  Apparently fed up with being unable to prove his innocence and looking at a jail sentence increased to four years following his appeal of the original 2-1/2 year sentence, he managed to flee Taiwan late last year and is reportedly now in Switzerland, refusing to return to the island without an agreement from prosecutors there guaranteeing certain conditions including a re-trial.
  Here are four recent news stories reporting on some of the latest developments in the Zain Dean case:

Time For Renewal and Coming Back to Life

  It’s been quite a while since my last post but I’m still here and still going to be sharing more of the nightmare of Taiwan’s injustices against foreigners.

From time-to-time throughout this long-running saga, I’ve needed to take a break from writing and posting materials to handle things going on in the rest of my life and/or to give myself a necessary psychological and emotional rest from recalling the many unpleasant and stressful events of this story.  

  During this current hiatus from blogging, the most significant thing I did was to travel back to Taipei in December for a week to see the newest joy in my life – my second son who I hadn’t seen for 8 months since I moved to Indonesia. The impact of Alice Yang and the nursing university’s evil fraud has been far-reaching - even blackening what should have been a much happier event when my son was born last January. Instead, unnecessary complications between my son’s mother and I have kept us apart, and for financial reasons I had to find work outside of Taiwan last year in order to stop the financial bleeding I endured for years in Taiwan. To make more progress in cutting down the mountain of debt I’ve accumulated in the past 4 years fighting the evil and injustice in Taipei, I’ve had to sacrifice being with my young son and seeing him grow up most of the first year of his life.

  The precious time in December with my younger son and reflecting on my role so far in his and my first son’s lives have brought me to some important realizations and inspired me to re-evaluate what I’ve accomplished since they were born and what I must do from here on. The nursing university fiasco and subsequent events the past 4 years have cast me far out of the stable, positive direction my life had been tracking prior. Seeing the innocent joy and existence of my one-year-old son, playing with him, and imagining all that lies ahead for him and my 11-year-old boy inspired me to some crucial, and in some ways difficult, decisions to try and pull myself out of this 4-year-long funk and get back to who I once was and what I know I can be as a good, loving father to my sons.
