I can understand the arguement that the justice system favors those who have money and can afford expensive lawyers. Especially with cases such as OJ and MJ getting away with their crimes. Then you got none captital cases where Holiwierdos get away with things that would get the rest of us a couple of years in the jail.
There are a lot of things that have to be worked out to make the justice system what it should be, but it can never be perfect. It can however be much more keen than it is now by a long shot.

(By the way there Dwight, don't get mad at me for failing to understand the religious implications of your remark there. I'm not religious at all. I really don't understand the Bible the same way that religions do. I get something much different from it.) Its a no brainer to me. If I were to land here from some other planet, I wouldn't need the bible to tell me that those who brutally murder others should not be allowed to live their lives out at the expense of those whom he commited his offence. Further more I wouldn't need a book of directions to tell me that spending money to tend to and care fore those who so willingly transgressed the civil tranquility of society to such a degree that they should be removed from it is insane. Removing them from civil society and not allowing them to return is the only way logically speaking. I also do not have to have any other instructions or phylosophic ideas to tell me that crimes that do not require the removal from society, but require punishment should not be carried on and on but punished once and well. For instance speeding for example; It you got a leather strapping, one stripe for every mile over the speed limit you wouldn't get caught speeding more than once.
