I respectfully disagree. There is a process of finding out the facts and rendering an official (judicial) decision.
An act that is illegal
was committed.
A grizzly bear was shot and killed. Killing a grizzly bear is illegal. There are laws against this. However, these laws also include exceptions which may allow justifiable or excusable outcomes.
The next process is to determine whether this specific act was justifiable or excusable from a judicial standpoint. Due process involves not only an investigation but also a series of hearings/evaluations.
Judicial Due Process is never a waste of money. It is one of our most precious civil rights. In my opinion, the most precious. All our other civil rights are worthless unless we have the right to judicial Due Process.
Due Process needs to be applied equally to those we feel may be guilty as well as to those we feel may be innocent.
