Answer 2

Actually, the end purpose of law has often been CONTROL, not justice. For example, it was the law in Nazi Germany that all Jews had to die...was THAT justice? And it was the law in the pre-Civil War South of the U.S. that all blacks had to be slaves...was THAT justice? And it was the law in ancient Egypt that all the Pharaohs' servants be killed and buried with them...was THAT justice? It goes on and on, and it's quite obvious that law and justice do NOT necessarily go together.

yes ,justice was served satisfactorily

to punish the culprits simple, but some innocents were also punished.
