bp, OK, I agree with your first paragraph, and that the judicial system is in sad shape but, people are sentenced to death by 12 jurors, supposedly their peers, with evidence that convicts the perps beyond a reasonable doubt. What ever happened to "beyond a shadow of a doubt"? In many states the jurors are the ones who decide the penalty to fit the crime, not the judge. Any judge who is not elected but, appointed by the President or the Governor, has a good chance of turning out to be a political hack. Rich people can hire the "best", or most effective by whatever means, lawyers, so it appears they buy their way out of the correct penalty but, perhaps something should be done about those unscrupulous lawyers. I doubt that any of them are a Matlock. Ishould have known you would respond even though you said you had posted your last words on the subject. A woman ALWAYS has to have the last word. :^) ~H~
