The course of justice
Not all Mexican crime involves narcotics or murder of even bribery. And not all criminals get away. And the wheels of justice don’t always turn slowly. In most of Mexico, your typical crime story in the local paper is a nota roja — COMPLETE WITH PERP PIX — like this one, presented in its entire glory (my translation) taken from the Aguascalientes on-line news aggegator, Crisol Plural:
Having been identified as the suspect who stole a 26-inch wheel white bicycle, as well as a burglar, the police officers in charge of unit 1305, captured at 19:45 pm Arturo Martinez Campos, a 34 year-old mason in the Municipio Libre sub-division of colonia San Miguelito y Esfuerzo National..
Maria de los Angeles Garcia Montoya is the person who accused Arthur and who says he tried to steal about 200 meters of electrical wiring: so after he was apprehended he was presented immediately to the judge.
