[Yahoshua]

Also, something to remember about the American Judicial system:

"The American Judicial system is not interested in Truth or Justice, but is about who can afford the best actor for their case."

This is the current hall-mark that all law-students are taught in law-school.

So the Judge is really the one who has free reign to do as he pleases, but this is supposed to be balanced by the jury.

However, when looking at people in general "common sense" is no longer common, neither are morals, discipline, or good judgement.

Keeping the above in mind. Have you ever talked to someone and think in the back of your mind "This persons' vote counts just as much as mine." Ever get the feeling your stomach is sinking toward your feet when you realize what that means? I do.
