Well, here is what I'm curious about. Which of these conditions is valid justification for violating house arrest and fleeing a jurisdiction that you are being prosecuted in?
-- You believe the charges or prosecution is being unfairly conducted
-- You believe you are innocent
-- You believe public opinion is on your side
-- You have a more favorable jurisdiction you can flee to
Is it up to you to decide that you're in the right, and if you have resources, should escape the legal system?
I'm sure many people feel these points when they're being prosecuted. Are they to decide? Or is it just that he's rich and had the means to act on these opinions?
- lmm 5y agoThat's like asking when violent revolution is justified. There is certainly a point where it's legitimate, but the people undertaking it have a rather biased perspective. People at every level do what they can to evade justice systems, and of course the richer you are the more dramatic that will be. IMO it's more relevant for us to judge for ourselves whether he was right or not. Did he flee a system that we consider fair and reasonable, or one that's arbitrary and unjust?
