Justice began with a question, not a sentence.
Did you know God was the first to apply the “Right to be Heard”? Before the judgment was passed in the Garden of Eden, God asked: “And he said'Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?” (Genesis 3:11 NIV). He didn't just condemn; He gave Adam and Eve the opportunity to speak.
In our legal system, this is the essence of Article III of the 1987 Constitution, Sec. 1 "No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law."
Sec. 14(2) “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall be presumed innocent until the contrary is proved, and shall enjoy the right to be heard by himself and counsel…..”
Before you judge or are judged, remember: Even the Almighty practices the right to be heard.⚖️
Have a blessed Sunday, everyone 🥰🙏
