Taiwan ex-leader jailed for life (Friday, 11 September 2009 11:19 UK)

Taiwan's former President Chen Shui-bian has been sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of corruption by a court in Taipei.

Mr Chen was charged with embezzlement, taking bribes and money laundering, involving a total of $15m (£9m) while in office from 2000-2008.

Mr Chen had denied the charges, saying they were politically motivated.

His wife, Wu Shu-chen, already jailed for perjury in the case, was also sentenced to life for corruption.

扁珍一審判無期徒刑 罰金5億 (自由時報 Sep. 12, 2009)

〔記者劉志原、李欣芳、林慶川、陳成良／綜合報導〕台北地方法院審理前總統陳水扁家族所涉洗錢等案，認定扁、珍在國務機要費等案中收賄、貪污、洗錢，不法所得六億八千多萬元，其中三億多元匯往海外隱匿，扁、珍都被判無期徒刑、褫奪公權終身，扁、珍分別罰金兩億、三億；扁的兒子陳致中夫婦各被判刑兩年六個月、一年八個月，各罰金一億五千萬；扁家僅扁媳黃睿靚緩刑五年，但她須另付緩刑處分金兩億。

陳致中判兩年半 黃睿靚緩刑

台北地院這項九一一世紀判決，引發國內外廣泛議論及質疑。扁辦及阿扁擬於二審重新委任的律師鄭文龍直指判決違憲違法，趕盡殺絕、抄家滅族。士林地院刑庭庭長洪英花指判決程序違法，自始無效；多位法界人士也認為，同樣的法官對性質相同的國務機要費及特別費，判決卻天差地別，有雙重標準。

國際媒體也立即報導扁被判終身監禁，並普遍關注扁案司法人權，以及判決遭質疑判刑太重。馬英九總統在哈佛大學的恩師孔傑榮刻正訪台，他認為，一審判決後應有條件釋放扁，並對審理期間換法官程序表示質疑。

扁家罰金共八億，創下貪瀆案司法史紀錄，因合議庭要求被告連帶追繳不法所得六億八千多萬，而扁家罰金八億元、加上黃睿靚須付兩億元處分金，已逾不法所得總額，被告律師認為不符比例原則；審判長蔡守訓則強調一切合法。

扁家罰金共八億 逾不法所得

陳水扁遭蔡守訓裁定延押迄今兩百五十六天，連同之前特偵組起訴扁之前羈押的卅二天，扁迄今羈押已達兩百八十八天，法院最快明天，最慢後天，會將判決書送至北所由扁簽收，扁上訴後，再由高院分案決定是否續押。

蔡美利重病停審 陳鎮慧免刑

特偵組去年十二月針對國務機要費、龍潭案、南港案及洗錢案起訴扁、珍等十四人，今年五月再追加起訴扁、珍向前台北一○一董事長陳敏薰收賄千萬；珍的同學蔡美利因重病獲暫停審理。

昨宣判的十三名被告均有罪，前總統府出納陳鎮慧因認罪並擔任污點證人而獲免刑，但仍須和扁、珍共同遭追繳一億元不法所得；扁的妻舅吳景茂夫婦等五人獲緩刑；扁的昔日幕僚馬永成、林德訓雖未獲任何不法所得，但也遭認定是貪污共犯，重判廿年、十六年。

判決書提到，陳致中、黃睿靚夫婦先前態度傲慢，但後來自白，可說知恥近乎勇，但法官考量陳致中是洗錢主要操盤手，而未予緩刑。

合議庭曾審理過馬英九特別費案，判馬無罪；合議庭指出，國務機要費與特別費性質不同無法類比，扁案也不適用「支出大於收入」的「大水庫理論」。

馬扁案判決歧異 疑雙重標準

扁為抗議政治審判，昨未出庭聽判，審判長蔡守訓引用「大學」指扁、珍「一人貪戾，一國作亂」，判決書直指「陳水扁的總統職務限縮於財團豪閥之服務」，不法所得令人咋舌，故予重判；合議庭另認定陳致中等十一人為扁案共犯，一併向檢方告發。

昨天宣判前，挺扁群眾約兩百人至台北地院前抗議，高喊「阿扁無罪」；最高檢特偵組則說，台北地院積極進行審判程序並依法判決，對此表示敬意。

Black Wave: The Legacy Of The Exxon Valdez

I just watched this documentary, Black Wave: The Legacy Of The Exxon Valdez, which is produced by CBC. It upset me very much. I am angry to the cold blood Exxon and feel sad for those people in the fisheries town Cordova and all wildlife in and near Prince William Sound.

Black Wave: The Legacy of the Exxon Valdez (Saturday July 18, 2009 at 7 pm on CBC-TV)

Almost twenty years after the massive Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska the citizens of the town of Cordova are still dealing with the environmental and social impacts, as well as the financial and legal fallout of the spill. Black Wave: The Legacy of the Exxon Valdez is a poignant reminder that the effects of North America's biggest environmental catastrophe are still with us. Over the years they have profoundly altered the lives of tens of thousands of people, reducing many of them to poverty and despair.

Eventually a successful class-action suit, involving 32,000 people, brought the plaintiffs a huge victory when the jury ordered Exxon to pay five billion dollars in compensation. That should have been the end of the story, but it wasn't. Battalions of Exxon's lawyers started a drawn-out judicial war that dragged through the U.S. legal system. When the case finally ended up before the U.S. Supreme Court, it reduced the award to one tenth of its original amount. The decision, a victory for ExxonMobil, was a bitter defeat for the people of Cordova who are still trying to rebuild their lives.

Black Wave: The Legacy Of The Exxon Valdez
In the early hours of March 24th 1989 the Exxon Valdez oil supertanker runs aground in Alaska. It discharges millions of gallons of crude oil. The incident becomes the biggest environmental catastrophe in North American history.
For twenty years, Riki Ott and the fishermen of the little town of Cordova, Alaska have waged the longest legal battle in U.S. history against the world’s most powerful oil company – ExxonMobil. They tell us all about the environmental, social and economic consequences of the black wave that changed their lives forever. This is the legacy of the Exxon Valdez.

Facts courtesy of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council
* 11 million gallons or 257,000 barrels or 38,800 metric tonnes of oil was spilled. * This is roughly equivalent to 125 olympic-sized swimming pools.
* Approximately 1,300 miles of shoreline were impacted by the oil.
* At its peak the cleanup effort included 10,000 workers, about 1,000 boats and roughly 100 airplanes and helicopters. Exxon says it spent about $2.1 billion.
* No one knows exactly how many animals died but the best estimates are: 250,000 seabirds, 2,800 sea otters, 300 harbor seals, 250 bald eagles, up to 22 killer whales, and billions of salmon and herring eggs.

In the case of Baker v. Exxon, an Anchorage jury awarded $287 million for actual damages and $5 billion for punitive damages. The punitive damages amount was equal to a single year's profit by Exxon at that time.

Exxon appealed the ruling, and the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered the original judge, Russel Holland, to reduce the punitive damages. On December 6, 2002, the judge announced that he had reduced the damages to $4 billion, which he concluded was justified by the facts of the case and was not grossly excessive. Exxon appealed again and the case returned to court to be considered in light of a recent Supreme Court ruling in a similar case, which caused Judge Holland to increase the punitive damages to $4.5 billion, plus interest.

After more appeals, and oral arguments heard by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on January 27, 2006, the damages award was cut to $2.5 billion on December 22, 2006. The court cited recent Supreme Court rulings relative to limits on punitive damages.

Exxon appealed again. On May 23, 2007, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals denied ExxonMobil's request for a third hearing and let stand its ruling that Exxon owes $2.5 billion in punitive damages. Exxon then appealed to the Supreme Court, which agreed to hear the case.[15] On February 27, 2008, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments for 90 minutes. Justice Samuel Alito, who at the time, owned between $100,000 and $250,000 in Exxon stock, recused himself from the case.[16] In a decision issued June 25, 2008, Justice David Souter issued the judgment of the court, vacating the $2.5 billion award and remanding the case back to a lower court, finding that the damages were excessive with respect to maritime common law. Exxon's actions were deemed "worse than negligent but less than malicious."[17] The judgment limits punitive damages to the compensatory damages, which for this case were calculated as $507.5 million.[18] Some lawmakers, such as Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick J. Leahy, have decried the ruling as "another in a line of cases where this Supreme Court has misconstrued congressional intent to benefit large corporations."
