I have always thought what might happen if everyone demanded their day in court and pled, not guilty. Would those cases grind to a halt, and many dropped because of speedy trial rights?
Would the justice system simply expand dramatically?
- voakbasda 4y agoI would wager that most people that choose to avoid trial because they feel openly threatened by the legal system. In their minds, it becomes a life or death decision, and the system puts enormous pressure convincing people that a trial would be a game of Russian Roulette. If more people started demanding full trials, the pressure would be increased. The beatings will continue until morale improves.
