This is a great analogy and the court system is designed by bullies for bullies. The sly-est one wins. The only thing I can say is to hope and pray you never have to enter the court system because it is a black hole. There may be good judges but they are becoming the exception.
"The sly-est one wins."
And the one who files the right motion at the right moment on the right paper. Who knows the right people to get the right law passed so that the judge can rule on the right motion after the golf game. Who acts the best before the jury and knows the right procedure and knows how to dress well and has the right judge. Who is a good actor and has the best smile. Who has the best political contacts and heaviest clout. Who is the most adept at reading the situation as it develops, and can introduce this evidence but keep this piece over here as a trump if needed, or ignore it altogether if necessary.
Let's face it. Since Felos got just under $400K of Terri's rehab $$ and Greer didn't enforce the injustice of it, the law had nothing to do with this. The 'law' is through the looking glass.
