True, but I prefer a system in which occasionally, guilty people go free, than one in which innocence is no defense*.
* Such as the one we have today in 2005.
It was a travesty of justice and I can't help but note that what goes around comes around, so it seems.
My experience is that no good can come out of that emotion.
Would you argue for instance, that I should not have taken satifaction in the death of Arafat? Or should Bin Laden be killed, should I "forgive" him for 9-11? Or would I be justified in taking satisfaction in justice been served? Hmmmm? Ponder that for a while.
Ah yes, let us all NEVER forget Ito, so well defined in the "Dancing Itos" (for those who remember). I have asked myself in the past how differently that so-called trial would have gone had they had a real judge in charge. What a waste of skin "Judge" Ito was. What an embarrassment.
