re: #133 MandyManners

What about the rule of law? Isn’t a jury charged with determining the facts?

You would think but since they’re only getting the “facts” the prosecutors, judges, and defense atty’s decide, they’re in a tough spot. Add to that that most people take the police and prosecutors word at face-value and it raises the question of exactly how many innocent people do we have behind bars.

Once the legal system has done it’s job it’s up to the elected officials to make sure justice has been served but since most governors don’t want anyone to be able to accuse them of being soft on criminals they’re pretty hesitant to step in. Except Huckabee of course and we know how that worked out.
