Prosecutors and Judges Need to Be Talked About More In Relation to Rising Crime

[Benton]

In general, the courts are overburdened.

If you have a pd, they will most likely force you to plead, whether you're guilty or not. If you can get any sort of legal representation, you'll most likely get a reduced sentence. It's crazy, but it's where we are.

What's that got to do with an over burdened legal system? If you've got 15 hours worth of litigation to fit into an 8-hour day, judges arent going to force everything
