Do you think our legal system is just and fair?

[livluvsmile]

I was wondering how many people thought our legal system is just and fair?  In my opinion I think it depends how much money you have and who you know otherwise you just get what you get!

[brebrelewis28]

Hell no i dont think it just or fair at all

[btriple1]

I think its just in most cases

[jenniferhoder]

Fair??? Hell no it's not fair! there are too many crooked people out there for it to be FAIR!

[derrick12480]

For the most part no. Jury tend to go with their heart and not evidence. Plus all you need is a good lawyer to talk the jury into anything. It's supposed to be complete guilt or they're innocent but it never goes that way. At least most times.

To a certain extent. I am a criminology major and some of the case we have read are just ridiculous. Safe guards that are set in place to save people end up failing miserably. Its quite sad. People put a lot more faith in the "justice" system than they really should.

O and a side: I have noticed that it is the innocent people that need lawyers the most. If you are innocent and think the legal system will protect...dont be fooled.

it is thre bestin the world, though sometimes not fair.

Nope, not at all. We're talking about a country that practically gives the criminals the "silver platter". So if someone broke into your home, and gets hurt, he can sue and win. it's that bad.

unfair , very unfair , my brother didnt kill anyone and is now doing 15 years for a drug habit .

It is the the best we have. Sometimes it is just and sometimes it is not fair but who said life was fair.

[20TheBoyz10]

Absolutely NOT!  I have become more & more convinced over the years that we have undeniably the WORST legal/judicial system in the world!!  We have entirely too many hardened criminals and repeat offenders walking free on the streets~~only to victimize/hurt/mame/rape/Kill  more innocent people in their paths.  Why?  Because more often than not, the police do their jobs only for the Judges & Juries to FAIL miserably at theirs!!

[champak97]

Not at all! After hearing the verdict in Casey Anthonys and a couple of other cases, and seeing murderers set free, and innocent people behind bars for a life time I have lost any trust that I had in the legal system. Moreover how can a handful of common people , the jury decide the fate of the suspect? Most countries dont have this type of system. Circumstancial evidence has too much significance and many things are frustrating in the legal system.

I would like to think that there is justice.  But lately there has been so many upsets in the news it is totally insane.  Baby killers, love triangles, and greed.  It's crazy.

Like everything else, its only fair if you win.
