He additionally emphasized that: “Judges have the constitutional obligation and responsibility to uphold the independence of trials under any adversities.  Justice will stand upright on the solid trust of our citizens and maintain its treasured value only when we judges fully acknowledge the constitutional duty to demonstrate our wisdom and sacrifice with the judicious balance and unchallenged dignity.”
