Trial
(((О))) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fire the knife in my back still remains the thorn in my side your house
Burns down commandments tie my hands back only when my spirit
Obeys I'm free demon pride inventing rights to brink me down to breaking
You down trial by fire burns my patience to the ground trial by fire
Your house is burning down.
The lyrics of (((О)))'s song Trial express the artist's perspective of watching someone's downfall from the eyes of pride. The lyrics begin by stating that the downfall is coming quickly, and the artist's anger fuels this process. The next line refers to a metaphorical "knife in my back," which means that the artist has been betrayed by someone close to them. This betrayal still stings and causes pain, represented by the "thorn in my side" imagery. As a result of this betrayal and the anger it causes, the artist watches as the betrayer's "house burns down."
The next line mentions commandments that tie the artist's hands back, suggesting that there are rules or expectations that limit their ability to act in retaliation. However, the artist is only obedient to these rules when their spirit is willing, suggesting that they may break free of these constraints if necessary. The use of the term "demon pride" suggests that the pride that fuels the artist's anger may be a destructive force. The artist then mentions that this pride is inventing rights to bring the betrayer down to breaking them down. This line suggests that the artist's pride is causing them to seek revenge or retribution for the betrayal they've experienced.

Unreasonable delays in trials
342A. (1) A court before which criminal proceedings are pending shall investigate any delay in the completion of proceedings which appears to the court to be unreasonable and which could cause substantial prejudice to the prosecution, the accused or his or her legal adviser, the State or a witness.
(2) In considering the question whether any delay is unreasonable, the court shall consider the following factors:
(a) The duration of the delay;
(b) the reasons advanced for the delay;
(c) whether any person can be blamed for the delay;
(d) the effect of the delay on the personal circumstances of the accused and witnesses;
(e) the seriousness, extent or complexity of the charge or charges;
(f) actual or potential prejudice caused to the State or the defence by the delay, including a weakening of the quality of evidence, the possible death or disappearance or non-availability of witnesses, the loss of evidence, problems regarding the gathering of evidence and considerations of cost;
(g) the effect of the delay on the administration of justice;
(h) the adverse effect on the interests of the public or the victims in the event of the prosecution being stopped or discontinued;
(i) any other factor which in the opinion of the court ought to be taken into account.
(3) If the court finds that the completion of the proceedings is being delayed unreasonably, the court may issue any such order as it deems fit in order to eliminate the delay and any prejudice arising from it or to prevent further delay or prejudice, including an order-
(a) refusing further postponement of the proceedings;
(b) granting a postponement subject to any such conditions as the court may determine;
(c) where the accused has not yet pleaded to the charge, that the case be struck off the roll and the prosecution not be resumed or instituted de novo without the written instruction of the attorney-general;
(d) where the accused has pleaded to the charge and the State or the defence, as the case may be, is unable to proceed with the case or refuses to do so, that the proceedings be continued and disposed of as if the case for the prosecution or the defence, as the case may be, has been closed;
(e) that-
(i) the State shall pay the accused concerned the wasted costs incurred by the accused as a result of an unreasonable delay caused by an officer employed by the State;
(ii) the accused or his or her legal adviser, as the case may be, shall pay the State the wasted costs incurred by the State as a result of an unreasonable delay caused by the accused or his or her legal adviser, as the case may be; or

(4) (a) An order contemplated in subsection (3) (a), where the accused has pleaded to the charge, and an order contemplated in subsection (3) (d), shall not be issued unless exceptional circumstances exist and all other attempts to speed up the process have failed and the defence or the State, as the case may be, has given notice beforehand that it intends to apply for such an order.
(b) The attorney-general and the accused may appeal against an order contemplated in subsection (3) (d) and the provisions of sections 310A and 316 in respect of an application or appeal referred to in that section by an accused, shall apply mutatis mutandis with reference to a case in which the attorney-general appeals and, in the case of an appeal by the accused, the provisions of section 309 and 316 shall apply mutatis mutandis.
(5) Where the court has made an order contemplated in subsection (3) (e)-

(b) the order shall have the effect of a civil judgment of that court.
[Date of commencement of sub-s. (5): to be proclaimed.]

or continuance of criminal proceedings is being delayed unreasonably in a lower court which is seized with a case but does not have jurisdiction to try the case, that superior court may, with regard to such proceedings, institute the investigation contemplated in subsections (1) and (2) and issue any order contemplated in subsection (3) to the extent that it is applicable.
(7) The National Director of Public Prosecutions must, within 14 days after the end of February and of August of each year, submit a report to Parliament containing the particulars indicated in the Table of Awaiting Trial Accused in respect of each accused who, by the end of the month in question, has been in custody for a continuous period exceeding one year

I find this witness is very honest and truthful to what happened when he 1st went to the scene of crime. There is no way he could have taken notice of evidence if you have no idea of what has taken place. I totally understand his frustration.

I think the NIA (National Intelligence Agency) can verify the cellphone calls especially of the people in the house. An application could perhaps be done to check on who called who that afternoon. The NIA system should be able to assist. What time did call Chicco and Senzo's family. Every cellphone call goes through the NIA system. Those cellphone numbers activities can be downloaded from that system and check exactly what time Senzo was shot. I think that's crucial.
