Dan Abrams concluded his show tonight by asserting that the legal system worked in this case. Really? If it had worked well, I don't think we would ever have heard about it.
Great point!
The legal system worked exactly as it is designed to work. The Schindlers had Sears-catalog-diploma representation; Schiavo had the state's foremost right-to-die lawyer. Terri was outlawyered.
That is just what the system is set up to do. The best lawyer won.
