Let's be more precise. We effectively have no justice.

If the least able to defend herself has no redress with all this coverage, we have nothing. No voice at all.

Excuse the double post.

Well said, combat boots. It's a sad truth that for the most part people learn too late. Most view the drama unfolding as if it were in the abstract, but it's not.

Mr. Schindler is an ordinary, middle-class person who has spent his life savings, including all his retirement funds, in order to finance the legal appeals. In the end, he will have been through unspeakable trauma and will have lost just about everything---even the chance to bury his daughter. The legal system will have ground the family into the dust. Theirs is the plight of any middle class person trying to navigate the "justice" system.

My heart breaks for the family.
