English people have let the loud, amoral ninnies take over political control of their country.

This case is a massive legal atrocity that is completely unknown to Americans: An innocent farmer, Tony Martin went through the agonies of hell, unjustified hard time prison, and endless abuse by a totally corrupt "judiciary."

We Americans face exactly the same breakdown in our own rapidly deteriorating fecal stench of a court system.

And I fear the Republicans are too weak to protect us from corrupt lawyers and judges. We saw this is the failure to enact even minimal tort reform and the disgraceful treatment of the honest Miguel Estrada.
