My fren recently had to attend a court case for maid abuse.  She is charged with kicking the maid in the kitchen.

She only knew the exact charge on the day of case hearing.  She denies kicking the maid, best of all, she even feels that the charge cannot stand as the position and the area where the maid was kicked was not that accessable. 

But she has been sentenced to 1wk prison.  She will serve her term, next wk. 

She cannot afford to get a lawyer due to cost.  So she has no choice but to serve the term.  Its so sad. 

She asked for her MP's assistance but was told that they will not be able to help.

Its not fair... I told her.  She said yah.. its not fair.. but I got no money to fight.

My question.

1.   Will he police/whoever check on the truth OR enact to see if the maid's claim is true.

2.    I am lost.  Do I just sit and watch my fren knowing that she had to pay for her maid' lies.
