Karla Karmala’s legal proceedings ached the heart. Why not avoid the entire event series, asks Emmi Oksanen, news manager at Iltalehti.

The court imposed 60 daily fines for Karmala. It makes a total of EUR 1,080 with Karmala’s revenue. The judgment on Friday is not yet final.

Karmala’s legal proceedings in the Western Uusimaa District Court in early March was a sad to follow from start to finish. Now 23-year-old Karla Karmala was 19 years old at the time of the deeds.

She has told about her military service and her dreams in joint interviews with her mother, a Finnish -loved hit singer Arja Koriseva. Karmala, who looks like a vigorous young person, has also set out in politics and is a candidate for the Coalition Party in municipal and regional elections.

According to his report, Karmala went on a conscript service with great enthusiasm. However, the legal proceedings to the general public drawn a picture of a series of events that had gone bad.

The group situation in Karmala and the rookies had apparently started to play with a play that had become out of hand. The saddest thing is that nobody in the situation apparently recognized or dared to say that dancing in swimwear and other jokes is not ok for themselves. None of the eight lawyers dared to say to Karmala at any time that he was acting inappropriately. I wish I dared.

Karmala also talked about the legal proceedings that he had been hard and harsh. Of course, everyone is responsible for their own actions and the judgment is content in the rule of law. Still, I hope that taking responsibility for events would also mean the courage to defend themselves and to stop a situation that goes wrong, even in the army.

In military service, young people are in an exceptional environment and probably behave differently than maybe anywhere else, but maybe that’s the problem. Could it not even be sharpened at the beginning of the conscript service that if you encounter inappropriate treatment at the barracks, it should be raised? Perhaps reserve officer training should be developed and taught that it is not okay to scream and dance the recruits.

Now, it seems that the legal proceedings would have been avoided, and Karmala or the lawyers would not have had to experience a heavy day in the district court three and a half years after the events. The fines of over a thousand euros are a little thing here.
