I think our justice system has gone to all the bleeding harts out there. They think this treatment is inhumane, putting someone to death for a crime. Or making them serve hard time. Our whole justice system is corrupt, If a person has a lot of money they can get off or get by with anything. A poor person hasn't a snowball chance in hell of getting a fair shake. So were do they get off with this equal justice for all bullshit. It is for the rich people, not the average Joe. Our justice system sucks and it is only a step child of our government that works the same way, for the rich man. I'm a veteran that served for my country. Had I known this was what I was fighting for, Id have told the whole lot to stick it were the sun don't shine.

It is terribly screwy and seems like an awful mess. I can't believe what they did to that karr guy, totally ridiculous. Although much of that was media coverage. If they hadn't aired the crap nobody would have known. I try to think about how I would want the same protections if I was wrongfully accused of something..although I would likely not get them. There are rules of evidence and if the people collecting the evidence violate the rules it can't be used...and although it winds up in 'technicalities' sometimes it the reason why some detective can't just decide he doesn't like you for whatever reason, plant some evidence and put you in prison for the rest of your life..for that we all need to be grateful. The scarier part for me, is when they DO manage to get convictions without evidence...my house (that I rented out) was fire bombed and two babies were burned to death, I whole heartedly believed they had caught the party responsible UNTIL I attended his trial. He was a 17 year old black boy and as I said I walked in to court convinced he did it, after watching and hearing the evidence even I, as heartbroken as I was, could NOT have convicted him but somehow they did. There were such glaring mistakes and such obvious other suspects. It was truly disheartening and that boy is spending his entire life in prison. In the end he was convincted by what a jealous ex gf said the night it happened, even though she later admitted she lied they still put him away. It was scary.

The justice system went to the bank.
My mother just came out of ICU after an anathesiologist (sp?) messed her up and she can't do anything about it legally unless there's permanent damage....yet the doctor can go ahead and keep his job and work. Meanwhile, if someone makes a minor mistake in some other "less important" job, they get canned.
And, I was ripped off by a businessman, took him to court and the judge found in my favor. This was about 6 months ago. I'm still waiting for my $$$. I went to the courthouse and spoke to some people there and they said all i could do is file some paperwork to give this guy/his business bad credit. I had already done that months ago and they're saying there;'s nothing else i can do, despite the fact i'm about to default on my school loans and am behind on my car payments as a result of the whole mess.
It makes me want to do something drastic to change things.....Anyone care to join me?

The information presented to the public is often wrong, unreliable based on speculation, hearsay, or many of the above. That's why there are Rules of Evidence to determine what is admissible, based on what can be verified.
The reason we have Rules of Evidence is that before that, police and prosecutors could make up anything they want, and prove anything they want with manufactured evidence. There were no limits, and no requirement that evidence be legally obtained.
The Rules of Evidence leveled the playing field, by making everyone adhere to the same standards for evidence they offer.
What you are apparently advocating is not justice. Its conviction by popular opinion, based on what the media tells people to believe. That's bad enough when there is some effort at keeping things fair through evidentiary standards. If we throw those out, we've through out any hope of justice, and we're back to a system where the one who wins is the one who tells a better story to the press.

The jury in the Michael Jackson case was not presented all the so-called evidence that the public was given because it wasn't factual but made up by the media!! A court of law can't go by opinions, they must have facts!!

between the worst issues of our justice gadget is with the dying penalty. we are in very undesirable employer in this- purely China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia complete extra human beings than the U. S. did in 2006. between the main progressed democracies, purely the U. S., Japan and Korea prepare the dying penalty. right here is are some info that individuals might desire to confirm- that's not a deterrent- states with the dying penalty have bigger homicide expenses than states that don't. people who dedicate homicide do no longer think of they are going to be caught, no longer to show punished, that's, in the event that they think of in any respect. The dying penalty expenses lots extra effective than existence sentences. lots of the extra effective fee comes earlier conviction, in actuality even earlier trial. (in my opinion, we would desire to continuously spend the extra funds for victims centers the place that's needed.) existence with out parole is on the books in further and further states. It ability what it says. that's no picnic to be locked up in a tiny cellular for 23 of 24 hours an afternoon. Over one hundred twenty human beings have been released from dying row with evidence of their innocence. (interior the overwhelming style of those situations, the evidence became no longer DNA. DNA isn't a miracle treatment for wrongful convictions). The exonerees had spent some years on dying row earlier being stumbled on harmless. rushing up the approach might assure the execution of an harmless individual. that's human nature to make errors. as quickly as somebody is complete for a criminal offense the case is closed. If the incorrect individual became convicted, the actual killer continues to be accessible. dying sentences might properly be very complicated on victims’ families. the approach takes a protracted time and that they are compelled to relive their ordeal many times back, in courts and interior the media. some homicide victims’ kin have reported that even nonetheless they help the dying penalty in concept, they do no longer decide to be certain it interior the case of their murdered buddy because of the fact of how the approach impacts families like theirs. existence with out parole is rapid and specific and hardly ends up in appeals. final of all, opposing the dying penalty would not recommend you excuse or coddle criminals who dedicate brutal and wicked acts. they might desire to be punished heavily. yet we would desire to apply straightforward experience based on the info, to no longer concentration on revenge.
