Let me just stipulate that I have been to Court a few times.
I largely found that the Legal System rarely provides more Justice for you than you choose to afford.
I used to hold onto a magazine cartoon of a man with his back to the viewer, facing a judge at the bench:
“And since you have been found not guilty, I am going to let you off with a warning.”
Lawyer to Client: The evidence shows we have a good case you are innocent. How much justice can you afford?
