[QUOTE="DDD, post: 244287, member: 35"] I don't "think" we have that type of judicial abuse here. The thing is, however, that unless you end up dealing with "the system" you believe that "Law and Order" means that [I]bad[/I] kids deserve what the Court gives them for [I]bad acts.[/I] Thousands of young people have their futures ruined because there is a dominance by the Prosecution, there is compliance by the Judges with the Prosecution because [I]most [/I]Judges got their legal training working as prosecutors, the Public Defenders have no choice but to try to expedite the large number of defendants who can't afford the private attorneys. Then...in my humble opinion...it is topped off by Legislators who want to "solve the problems" by passing blanket laws to control the Judiciary. With my whole heart I believe that taxpayers would be dumbfounded if they knew how many hundreds of millions of dollars are spent locking up people who don't need to be locked up. We are cutting back on school construction and rapidly expanding prison construction. We are laying off teachers and hiring thousands and thousands of new correctional officers. It is sad for the families and for our society. DDD [/QUOTE]
