Petition English version
February 3, 2008
Petition
Friends and companions of Mike Murray, who was murdered by a drunk
member of Prague Metropolitan Police, hereby request, by means of this
email, that the superior authority of the judge, who released this
offender charged with murder from custody, immediately takes measures
for correction of this, in our views incorrect decision. It is hard to
believe that a man, who is supposed to protect lives and property of
others, committed such malicious act, and still, he is not treated as an
offender of a serious offense, and he is at large, permitted the
possibility of influencing the course of the investigation. In
principle, we do not agree with the decision, and we hereby demand an
immediate correction.

(Amy Fairchild, 28. 2. 2008 16:21)I do hope the Prague police will take this suspect back into custody. I cannot believe that they would release him on his on accord in such a case. I hope all the facts are brought out in this case and true justice is carried out.
What the hell?????
(Katka, 27. 2. 2008 10:04)I thought I got used to see injustice in CZ. Our system is f****d up. BUT WHAT IS THIS???? I cannot believe that people can get away with a murder. I thought we all should be equal all around the world no matter what skin color or nationality we are or job we do, justice should be for everybody the same. Our country presents itself like a country full of thieves, so now we became murderers, who actually get away with it??? I feel personally ashamed and honestly hope the cop will be charged for life in prison and I fully agree with this petition.
How do you know?

that the three requirements weren't fulfilled?
I feel with the relatives and friends of the victim, and want the justice is done.
But I do not think that the way the case is presented here in the discussion helps the justice or anything else, except perhaps those few who can not help themselves and simply abuse this tragedy to show their own self-righteousness.
What a Joke!

Pavel you are an idiot! In the Western world people do not murder others and then just walk out of jail unless they are bonded by money to appear back in court to face justice. Which usually is price tag of $100000 to $1000000
2nd the Judge in the CZ must meet three requirements in order to release a murder suspect according to Czech law.
1) Defendant can not be able to influence witnesses or be able to tamper with evidense
2) Defendant can not be a threat to others
3) Defendant can not be flight risk
So it is amazing this Czech judge feels that this police scum bag can walk around like a free man and that none of the above three requirements are threatened for due process of justice.
Justice?
(Pavel, 25. 2. 2008 9:52)
There are some strict reasons given by law why can be somebody kept in custody during the investigation. Which particular reason is in place here?
And, mind you, anybody not convicted and sentenced by a court of justice must be seen as innocent by western justice standards.
It is sad how many comments here are quick to condemn Czech justice &c. while ignoring the very standards of justice they verbally praise.
Custody is not punishment. Justice is not revenge.
Agree
(Joanna Safarik, 25. 2. 2008 9:08)I agree. I didnt know this man but no one has the right to take someone's life and this murderer should not be out in the streets.
Prague
(T. Perna and P. Perny, 24. 2. 2008 16:15)We would like justice served in this case and the alleged murderer taken into custody! As Prague residents and citizens this type of person/aggressive policeman should not be serving the public in the name of law. And as I am a paintball player, a fellow paintball player slain by a policeman is tragic.

(Friend of Micheal, 24. 2. 2008 12:14)My wife and I both work with Michael. He was a kind gentle person. This is a travesty of justice, if this man can walked the streets after killing another man and leaving his wife a widower. Justice must be served. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jasmine his wife and all of his friends.
outrage
(S Schmidt, 23. 2. 2008 22:52)It is an absolute outrage that the perpetrator would be released during the investigation.

(Jeff Smith, 23. 2. 2008 14:14)very unusual circumstances warrant that a minimum the person be detained til trial.

(Irnbru, 22. 2. 2008 0:53)I went to prague last summer, great city, unfortunately the city is not safe outside prague 1,2. I went to prague 9 and we were not feeling comfortable out there. It's so sad for that man to be killed senselessly. I agree with you, that officer if responsible must answer to his act and be jailed like any wrong citizen.

(Thomas Michael Healy, 21. 2. 2008 22:38)Tato situace je hanba a omyl justiční. Policie nejsou nad zákonu.
