So how much were the Supreme Court judges paid to let Priyanka Mattoo's killer off the hook?

It wasn't the rarest of the rare cases, the Honourable Judges, mentioned in their ruling. Of course it isn't rare in Delhi for a man with power connections to stalk someone for two years before he rapes and kills her. In fact it's so common, by the judges arguments, the guy should be let off completely!
But coming back to the question, how much do you think they were paid? How much were the cops paid to hush up evidence? Also, how much did the killer's dad get paid? Afterall he is affording so much of legal fees and bribes. Wasn't he just a cop?
On second thought, how much is the cab driver who killed Pratibha Murthy paying for his counsel? And how can a taxi driver afford to pay for appeals and a corporate striped shirt and chinos for court appearances?
How much do you think Kalmadi paid for the singular experience of making a prize ass of himself as TV cameras were trained on his bungling speeches at the Commonwealth Games?
How much was paid to hire corrupt contractors, over-priced cab companies and expensive treadmills? And how much do you think he's going to pay, and to whom, to be let off the hook once the hype and the hoopla of the closing ceremony draws to a close?u00a0 Chances are, so much, that when India hosts the Olympics, he'll still be around, with the same stuffed pockets and gap in his teeth.
The rumour goes that Yeddy is throwing thirty crores at each MLA who defects to join his camp and support him in his Black October days. The MLA's will probably get paid even more by their own parties to stay put.u00a0
u00a0In a never-ending karmic cycle of I'll-pay-you-more-than-he-can every MLA is laughing his way to the bank (sorry, to his black money cupboard.) with our taxes. There doesn't seem to be much difference between them and the ladies of the night who stalk MG Road: except that these guys have also sold their souls.
How much is my corporator getting put into her drawer to ignore the plastic and dirt in Ulsoor Lake that's just opposite her office?u00a0 Probably not much ufffd she's never in her office.
