When I was a juror on a murder trial the one thing that was most clear was the disparity in resources. On one side were 6 impeccably dressed men in what I presumed were multi-thousand dollar suits. On the other side was single overwhelmed, overworked, and under-dressed defender who was steam-rolled at every sentence she spoke. I ended up in traffic court last year for a parking ticket that I can only think must have been stolen from my car during a festival. After spending just a few hours waiting my turn, it was pretty clear who exactly the police target for traffic violations. But this is a tangent.
