> I wonder how on earth the US legal system could deteriorate so much that such a story becomes possible. My impression is that everything in the USA has become lawyerized. Politicians are all lawyers. If you have assets of more than a mill, you have a legal team. You can't move for lawyers. I'm watching stories about a man facing 90 charges, who is still running for president (and has a good chance of winning). All of his co-accused are lawyers. Youd think that, with so many lawyers around, it should be really quick to get justice. But it's the opposite; apparently, the more lawyers are involved, the longer justice is delayed.
