Why am I not surprised?

The trial for the Maguindanao Massacre has started today. The principle suspected master mind Andal Ampatuan Jr has pleaded not guilty. This is going to be a long circus of a trial. And while lawyers and government prosecutors battle it out in the legal arena, the family of the almost 60 victims wait for justice to be done.
I'm really not surprised that Ampatuan pleaded not guilty. He has the resources to make this trial a prolonged one. This will be dragging on and on for years IMHO.
People are angry and restless, this is a real test for our judicial system.
