How do you feel about our justice system? Is it right? Is it fair?

Asked by willbrawn (6614points) July 9th, 2008

I ask this question because yesterday i was talking with a co-worker. She went to court yesterday to testify against a man who was trying to use a fake travelers check worth $500. At my job he was caught in the act and the cops arrested him. At the court house yesterday the DA on her side said that they really dont have a case. The reason was that he actually didnt commit the crime yet. They could possibly try him for attempted forgery but that was all. Good news though he actually pleaded guilty so justice did prevail.

Seriously, they didnt have a case? Things that are right and wrong dont seem to matter anymore. Our courts can make it so that criminals go free, as long as they have a great attorney.

Am i the only one that thinks our courts and lawyers are messed up?
