This judge was convicted of jailing youths for kickback money. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/13/us/13judge.html http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/13/us/13judge.html There are Hacker News threads that discuss the hundreds of DNA exonerations in the U.S. This hints at the huge problem of lying and frame-ups by the police and judicial system. Juries are instructed to give a verdict on guilt or innocence not decide on sentencing. The U.S. has the highest per capita prison population in the world. It is big business. Kind of a waste of time to fall back on voting when there are so many reactionaries like yourself.
