Fair enough - the system isn’t perfect; however there is no perfect system this side of heaven. I’m open to many kinds of reforms of the criminal justice system. The important thing to realize is that there are only trade-offs, no perfect answers.
Still, defendants still have rights and get due process in court. It is not reasonable to jettison all of that because sometimes we don’t like the outcomes.
- pmoriarty 6y agoYou do have rights and get due process unless you're: - a minority who's not part of the elite - poor and don't have connections - get accused of not having the right papers - run in to a corrupt cop or one who's having a bad day and decides to take it out on you Even if you do get your day in court the system is heavily stacked against many segments of society.
