11. Ayep, America has the best justice money can buy.
I wasn't trying to beat up on you, I was just trying to point out some facts about the legal system. It really sucks because court appointed lawyers will push poor people into accepting plea bargains that turn out to do more harm to the person in the long run then if said person took the risk of a jury trial. Even a judge will bring pressure on the poor to accept the plea or else face stiffer sentences if found guilty. Remember once a person accepts a plea they are admitting guilt and you here it from the right all the time, he must be guilty he coped the plea. To be honest it sucks and people are willfully ignorant on how americas justice system really works, after all why care you won't find yourself in "that" kind of trouble, only criminals and wrong doers get brought up to the court system. Then when it hits you in the face, you go into shock how quickly you went from honest Joe citizen to convict 367895.
