My definition of justice is that someone be held and punished for their crimes. Justice for the victim so that whoever hurt/killed is held accountable for their actions. In this case, apparently there is no one responsible for the death
so I guess I’m wrong then.
I am really not trying to be a jerk, but look up the definition of Justice.
“...the administration of law according to prescribed and accepted principles.”
Justice has to do with the process.
Of course, the Justice that Casey will ultimately face will have a Judge a lot bigger and badder than they guy we saw this morning.
You ARE wrong.
Our legal system is NOT about ‘justice” for the victim.
If that were the case, the trial would be over in 2 minutes, just convict whoever the prosecution brings forth. Then someone would be responsible for the death.
Our system is about convicting someone of a charge against them. Sometimes the victim gets justice and the perpetrator is held acccountable. IF the ALLEGED perpetrator is found not guilty, there is no “justice”. That is why we say ‘alleged” until it is PROVEN in a court of law, by a jury.
The person convicted has been charged with a crime —he has violated a statute of our criminal code—and IF he is found guilty, he serves what our laws say is the punishment.
The STATE files the charges in a criminal proceeding...NOT the victim. That is why, whether or not the victim wants to file charges, the STATE does file charges if a crime has been comitted.The crime is related to the victim, but is a crime against the citizens.
