Why are the correctional officers wearing the masks?

I don't understand why so many posters on this forum make a point of asserting that they don't believe prostitutes deserve to be murdered. Against whom are you defending yourself? This seems to occur in almost every thread concerning the murder of a prostitute.
And a second question to whomever may know: how prestigious are Cambridge and Oxford these days? I know they've long been the elite English schools but they also seem to take a rather large percentage of English university students.
So for example Harvard in the US seems comparable at first, but then Harvard takes a very very tiny percentage of total US college students. But then again going to college is a lot less elite or distinctive in the US than in the rest of the West.
Just curious, sorry for the digressions.

Rest in peace to these two girls who were only trying to help their families financially. God bless them
Ouch!Or maybe they were enjoying their jobs. Or were too lazy too work the "normal hours". I see on WS the opposite attitude, which is to white-wash them. Every prostitute does it because of a noble reason, like feeding her family, or helping orphans in Africa, or saving the rain forest.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...er-s-coffin-funeral-procession-Indonesia.htmlMiss Ningsih's funeral took place this morning in her home village, which she left in her late teens to start a new life as a domestic worker in Hong Kong. She had earlier married and divorced, and is the mother of a six year old son who has been raised by her parents.
While working in Hong Kong, Miss Ningsih was able to send large sums of money back to Gandrungmangu to help pay for her son's education, but problems with her visa meant she started struggling to find domestic and waitress work, and was forced to become a prostitute.
Rurik Jutting, a 30-year-old former Bank of America-Merrill Lynch employee, has been charged with two counts of murder.
In a brief hearing at Hong Kong's High Court yesterday, the trial date was set for Oct 25 next year - two years after the killings.
Jutting, who did not appear in court, will face a jury trial which is set to take 20 days.
As his trial began on Monday morning, Jutting told Hong Kong’s high court he was not guilty of murder. However, he pleaded guilty to the crime of manslaughter for the reason of diminished responsibility.
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-hongkong-murder-idUSKCN12P088The jury in the trial of a British investment banker accused of murdering two Indonesian women in his Hong Kong apartment on Tuesday watched a horrific video that he filmed while sexually torturing and killing his first victim...
The four women and five men, all middle-aged, shifted on their seats, clenched their jaws, drew in their breath, and sometimes dropped their eyes as they sat through the grisly 20 minute clip on the second day of the trial.

Mr Jutting pleaded not guilty to the murder of two Indonesian women in 2014 on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
He did plead guilty to manslaughter, but that has been rejected by the prosecution.
I'm following this with much interest, I remember it being in the news when it happened then forgot all about it. Funnily enough I was in Hong Kong last week and read something about it, we were in Wan Chai and walked right past the apartment where it happened. I'm deeply curious about the mental state involved here and what led him to do these things. I would also love to know his thoughts and feelings on it now he presumably no longer has access to drugs and alcohol. The fact that he's been declared ft to stand trial seems to be incompatible with the mentality he had at the time of the crimes as is starting to come out. I feel almost certain that he will be found guilty of murder and sentenced to life but of course we never know and the defence has not started its case yet. How those poor women suffered does not bear thinking about, I could not be a jury member on this case
In total, 43 videos found on Jutting's iPhone were played one after the other in court for three hours on Tuesday. Some were only played as audio because of the graphic content, while others were shown to the jury and public in their entirety.
