So... just this morning I figured out what's wrong with the public's impression of the U.S. Criminal justice system
There was TV tuned to a program called “And Justice For All”
It was obvious to me that the purpose of this show has very little to do with justice and much to do with entertainment
It is one of those courts people go to when they are too stupid to figure out the consequences of their own action and have to have someone else straighten out their mess
When this is what the general public sees as how courts work it creates a false impression of what justice is
On TV it's about revenge
