Remember the early sixties when the U,S, wanted Gary Powers a U2 spy plane pilot tried in a world court they boasted, that America had a 64%conviction Ratio in federal court, the states had a 46% conviction Ratio,since Rusia had a 92% conviction Ratio there no way anyone could get a fair trial in Russia,??? hummm today the U,S, has a 98.8% conviction ratio, we have more people in prison than any country in the world according to international human rights organization , even China or N,Korea
many of our prisoners are lifers for drugs or some other crime that was not a crime until the 60s, our law makers have passed 55.000 new laws since 1965, ??? why , our uninformed public is still demanding more sever sentences for every one, our people are like lambs compared to the people in the 50s and 60s and yet they want more and stiffer laws??? and the same people who yell the loudest are also yelling when they get arrested for some thing minute and get sent to prison for several years,
