I take it you meant that the same guy in the US would never have been hung for trafficking - if in prison here for murder would have taken 20 years to execute him here..
That’s as idiotic as sentencing 6-8 months down the road after a guilty verdict. None of it makes sense. Guess we can never expect any reform to that system to come out of any state legislature as no one gets elected or EVEN RUNS for office who isn’t a lawyer...
I think you hit the nail on the head. I have several lawyers after 50 years in the development business and I have a son in law that’s a lawyer. None of them have a lick of common sense.
That said, one of my lawyers has saved my ass on more than one occasion. I guess you truly “can’t live with em and can’t live without em”.
One day I hope there is a 49% limit on lawyers in legislatures. Would have to be a Constitutional Ammendment.
