Description

I despise the hypocrisy of our system of justice. It shames me and makes me ill. Why? Because like any "business", it is based on profit, rather on the concept of justice for all.

You can try and rationalize it, explain my naivete, but I won't accept it. Justice is far more than a tool of the wealthy. Why is it referred to them as Blind Justice????

One Force to sit and hear the truly horrible instances of justice deferred is mind blowing. Yet who is to blame? The cops and other law enforcement personnel who work days months and sometimes years on cases, only to have some clever public defender get the case dismissed, or plead down?

My guess it resides within the legal counsel system. The attorney's are often nothing more than cynical pimps. That has to change. and we have judges who are drunks, addicts and some who are corrupt working hand in glove with them.

Who judges the meters of justice? Maybe public oversight is needed. A form of citizen review?Independent of the legal system? I see this as doable. Maybe for a period of time each year, a group would be empanelled in each state to go over currently closed cases. I think oversight is crucial to setting this system back on a better path.

Zerro I agree nothing will change until people try and effect the changes necessary. Until then this subject needs to be openly and freely looked at and discussed.

Every single day someone swallows the pain, and suffering of crime in silence. How can this be in the greatest country on our planet????

I agreed 200%, justice owned and controlled by money and influences is part of the way things are nowadays. We need not look further, maybe thru the eye of punisher? or the latest Ghost Rider? or maybe? Judge dread? i am the judge, the executioner.

I agree 100% something needs to be done. But what can be done is the question. What can we do? The answer... Nothing. It is set up that way. Laws can be passed thru courts without ever having to go through a voting process. The legal system will stay the same till that is changed.

Yes it is. And that's not right. I may be naive, but I do know many women AND men who simply will not report a crime or seek redress because they've witnessed the utter contempt of the very people sworn to represent justice.

Thank you for stopping by to read and comment Tony. I know there are good guys out there in this bad old world, but they are so few, against the many.

Dear Candida,
I liked your essay on justice. Remember, though, where there is corruption, innocent people go to jail who shouldn't. That's part of the problem too. Thanks, Tony
