As a teen in the 70's, I learned valuable lessons about our CJS. I had a good friend who's father was a judge. He cheated on his wife and he cheated at Monopoly. Add to that, our next door neighbor was a cop who was arrested for shoplifting in a grocery store - in uniform. I come by my cynicism honestly.
Better to learn young, than to reach my age and watch you only child delivered up. I truly believed good guys win, eventually, BOY! was I wrong. I hope all my prayers for these boys will bring home a winner for them -- I didn't know enough to save my own son.
