AS THINGS STAND, HE WOULD HAVE FELT THAT IT IS SAFER TO BE INSIDE PRISON THAN OUT !

Many have escaped justice if you have power or have someone powerful behind you. Dr Merv, Duminda and many others are happy.

JUNIOR CITIZEN Friday, 29 October 2010 02:30 PM

poor fellow. the rouges are hidding

Rupika Friday, 29 October 2010 02:56 PM

You mean SF & Anoma?

Rosa Friday, 29 October 2010 02:57 PM

True to the word. SF was barking as if there were no wrongs.

Safe Haven Friday, 29 October 2010 03:00 PM

Yes if he is outside prison he can be upto mischief again

Pubudu Friday, 29 October 2010 03:01 PM

That's what this lot did with SF

Saint6 Friday, 29 October 2010 03:02 PM

Thawa innawa.. They are absconding.

paul Saturday, 30 October 2010 02:17 AM

What are the exact charges against him and which of them he pleaded guilty for?Is this the correct person or an impersonator?

Known party Saturday, 30 October 2010 06:01 PM

@Legglancer, Wait and see! You will called in too.

Moratu Puthek Friday, 29 October 2010 08:49 AM

He had pleaded guilty only for 12 out of 20 charges.
Public should know what he has pleaded guilty for and what he has not .
This is where the point is .

Fayad Friday, 29 October 2010 08:12 AM

What going to happen for First accused & danuna??????????????

Faqi Friday, 29 October 2010 08:12 AM

Nothing surprising

malkanthi Friday, 29 October 2010 08:15 AM

Obviously in the absence of danuka someone will have to pay the panelty.

Janaka Friday, 29 October 2010 08:15 AM

Ha -ha he has cut a deal--- GEN SF will look bad in the eye of the public & then Wellington Dehoedt would get a pardon from the President for achieving that!!

Ranjit Friday, 29 October 2010 08:17 AM

Will he get the presidential pardon for corporation?

Afker Hussain Friday, 29 October 2010 08:36 AM

wow speedy justice.... I wish the same can be applied to other cases where high profile politicians and business are involved.

Mohamed Friday, 29 October 2010 08:43 AM

Now Dehoedt will be brain washed to say that he will be given a Presidential Pardon if he co-operates with the Govt and say that SF is involved in the Hicorp arms deal.

SHAH Friday, 29 October 2010 08:44 AM

This was expected.He would have pleaded so as to survive.
Better be alive in jail than to be dead outside

Ryan Friday, 29 October 2010 08:46 AM

Thats why people did nt vote Sarath Fonseka, people are very wise on these issues.

Shantha Perera Friday, 29 October 2010 07:52 AM

OOOps, Cat jumps out of the bag

ind Friday, 29 October 2010 08:57 AM

Good eye opener for SF supporters. If there's nothing this should haven't happened.

Nimal Friday, 29 October 2010 09:00 AM

No ONE can escape JUSTICE !

steve Friday, 29 October 2010 09:04 AM

Whats going to happen to the big boys that were involved in the MIG deals and all the other shady deals ????? I Guess only time will tell if lady justice will prevail

sw Friday, 29 October 2010 09:20 AM

What is he guilty of ?

unl Friday, 29 October 2010 09:29 AM

they pleaded NOT guilty

Chaminda Friday, 29 October 2010 09:30 AM

I wish this happened in Duminda Silva's cases without intimidating the complainants into withdrawing the complaints!
The accused goes Scot-free!!

ind Friday, 29 October 2010 09:39 AM

When the court case started, the people who claim that there's fraud in this deal, didn't appear in the court. Only GR was there. Why didn't come to prove that ??

malkanthi Friday, 29 October 2010 09:44 AM

Well said Nimal, but soon it will be 'No ONE can escape INJUSTICE'.
