Ignorantia juris non excusat

Senator Juan Ponce Enrile was convicted because of the case plunder and 15 cases of grafts. About the Senator, people were being so merciful about the 90-year-old former senate president because some said that he should be house arrest because of his condition. My point is, the law imputes knowledge of all laws to all persons within the jurisdiction no matter how transiently. Even though it would be impossible, even for someone with substantial legal training, to be aware of every law in operation in every aspect of a state's activities, this is the price paid to ensure that willful blindness cannot become the basis of exculpation. I know that the Senator was not ignorance of the law but he’s not excuse for what he had done. Our law states that if a person has break some regulation, he or she will be put behind bars. So the question is, do we say mercy for those sinners or mercy for us what they thieve to us? I hope everyone should learn that ignorance of the law excuses no one because even the superiors itself are being to put into penitentiary, what about us that we are the ones who are lifting the foots of our leaders who are leading us to downfall?
