I have come to see it as a deliberate way to sidestep justice because you can make handwritten notes say whatever you wish them to say. And that is it.
I feel sad that, as someone who grew up thinking the FBI was on OUR side, it is disillusioning to see that isn’t so.
The fact that they can be re-written with the original deep-sixed just kills the whole concept of them being part of any System of Justice.
