barrysloateI actually think we do have the fairest system of justice in the world, for all its flaws. And I'm not going to pretend I know everything that goes on during a trial. I really only know what I hear, and of course that is through our beloved media.
And I know there are innocent people who face going to jail, and if a good lawyer can get them an acquittal that's a wonderful thing.
But I just hate to see a person who is guilty (some defendents are in fact guilty) walk away without being punished. I am glad to see Vick get such a harsh punishment and I think he deserves it. But the O.J. case, for whatever reason the jury acquitted him, makes me sick to this day. How do the Goldman and Brown families feel about it? Both were devastated by the verdict, and they are the true victims. That's all, what else can I say. All defendents are allowed their day in court and I know some guilty ones will not be convicted. But it makes me unhappy.
