Many victims of crime do not receive “justice” in our legal system.
The system does not guarantee the outcome. It only guarantees the process.
And it supposed to guarantee a level playing field for court.
That is why Justice is portrayed as wearing a blindfold—she is impartial, not a meter out of justice to the participants.
As it should be but you said justice rarely comes. I disagree. It comes to many. When decisions are made on day one of a trial based on what I believe to be profit motives and an opening statement which can not be viewed as evidence; is the process a level playing field?
Excellant.
Also it is NOT the victim who presses charges.
It is the STATE that presses the charges specific to the crime in the name of the citizens..the STATE has to prove that under the law the person violated the law and present the vidence specific to the charges.
