Fabs, I don't mean to sound condescending, but you can't really believe that all lawyers are out there for the betterment of the public. If they were they would refuse to take some of the cases presented to them. Lawyers are just like everyone else they have a job to do and right or wrong they do it to the best of their ability. It's just that sometimes the bad guys get a better lawyer than the good guys. That's the nature of the beast, you have to take the good with the bad. But you can't always dump it on the doorstep of the judge. If the bad guy gets a better lawyer and wins, it's because the lawyer did his job better than the other guy. Now whose fault is that? I think that is where everyone is coming from "the judicial system". It's to bad that some of these people that do these atrocities can't just disappear off the face of the earth. Someday they will be judged by someone a whole lot more unforgiving than what we are. We are not a perfect society and never will be, and that's why we have a judicial system that works like it does. You will always have some bleeding heart standing in the background boo-hooing about the bad guy being a victim and therefore doesn't get the punishment he deserves. It's not the greatest system on earth, but like someone else said, I'm not going to move to find a better one. But also that doesn't mean we have to like it.
