The most important aspect that Indonesian lawyers fail to understand is that the law in this country is like the wind—our legislation is filled with laws whose legal philosophy is chaotic. Law enforcement officers take advantage of this to create rubber laws from flawed legal products, where whoever wins public opinion ultimately wins the court. Take, for example, the case of Mirna's cyanide coffee, where there was no concrete evidence that Jessica mixed poison into Mirna's coffee; only testimonies from expert witnesses. However, public opinion was successfully manipulated to make Jessica guilty once again, proving that Derrida's paradigm deconstruction aligns with the reality of legal philosophy analysis in backward countries like ours. As a result, the court, whether willingly or not, follows public opinion as its final decision, believing that Jessica is the defendant in the murder case. In essence, a king must remain a king whether in the heart of civilization or in the wilderness.
In the case of Nikita, an artist who often encounters legal problems, in some instances, such as criticizing fraudulent investments, she finds herself in a position that is not wrong. The question arises: why is she a suspect in the fraudulent investment case? It's because she was late in portraying herself as a defender of victims of fraudulent investments, allowing her old enemies to manipulate public opinion first, regardless of the fact that she became involved in the case by defending victims of scams. The solution lies in Nikita leveraging her millions of followers or contacting sympathetic media contacts to build an image that she is a hero for scam victims who is being criminalized by the fraudulent investment scammer. Especially since Nikita only faces the masses and does not have enemies/rivals from the government and the judiciary, which are the institutions facilitating the handling of her case.
Even if legal representatives file 1000 reports and all of them are accepted and processed, if the public is mobilized to monitor the case and public opinion contradicts those reports, then all those reports become worthless and a blunder, where the reporters become mere jesters, and it is highly unlikely that the police, prosecutors, and the judiciary, who are very protective of their institutional reputations, would want to be depicted as jesters.
