    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is still another area which I think we need to develop after further research into this Bill. We know those criminals have partners within the law enforcement agencies. If they do, what happens where we have a victim, but we cannot secure any conviction against the criminal? The State should nevertheless pay the compensation necessary to that victim, whether there is a conviction or not. So, we should again require the bench to determine that under those circumstances, he or she cannot convict the particular suspect in that case. However, the court should still pronounce itself as to what amount of compensation should be due to the particular victim who has suffered in the hands of criminals that have now not been convicted and have been released by the court. In that case, such victims should benefit from the Fund nevertheless. This is despite the fact that the criminal was not found guilty."
