He was found guilty after 2 years and 4 months. His sentence will be delivered after another 20 days. What a Judicial System in Sri Lanka?

If this was heard in a Jaffna Courts by a Tamil Magistrate, once can expect an exemplary sentence, but in the south by a Sinhalese Magistrate it will be a manipulated deal.
