So I'm sitting here, after just getting off work, having a drink and watching the movie A Time to Kill. Good movie IMO, but it got me to thinking, that and the thread about the rape that the young man got an incredibly light sentence. How is justice served, if justice is dependent on how good of an attorney you can hire (if you can hire one at all)? How is justice served when someone well off can get away almost scottfree while someone who is not can get railroaded for something minor? Isn't justice supposed to be blind? I don't know what the answer is, but something seems wrong to me.
I understand that there are all kinds of attorneys, corporate, estate planning, taxes...ect. They're necessary, however when it comes to putting people away (or whatever severe penalties, monetary or otherwise deem necessary) it seems tilted in favor of the wealthy.
