		<description><![CDATA[Next time you hear ANYONE sating they are &quot;hard on crime&quot; understand that to mean, soft on justice. People who claim to be hard on crime merely use that phrase in order to mete out vengeance rather than justice. DAs and judges are ALWAYS &quot;hard on crime.&quot;  

If you EVER vote for them, then you support the fucked up system we call the justice system.

And REAL christians do not support injustice.  If you read the Bible, it says you will not receive true justice from man.  What the Hell do people expect.  Humans are imperfect.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The American justice system appears to be short of several essential properties for it to function with any semblance of rectitude. These properties are Honor, Integrity, Honesty, Ethics, Truth and Justice. With this minor oversight our image of Justice as a blind impartial arbiter is contorted into a new image, for in America no longer is Justice only blind she is also corrupt. Tyranny runs roughshod over this once great republic and it is both political parties that are to blame.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lynne&#039;s site demonstrates so many problems with the Brad Cooper case that it is truly depressing, even bizarre.

During the trial we kept looking for a smoking gun, but when the prosecution rested its case they had nothing except for some Google map stuff which was highly suspicious.

So what did the judge do?

He disallowed the testimony of a prominent expert who would have slammed the evidence, because the prosecutor complained they didn&#039;t have time to rebut.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I drank 3.5 beers over a 4 hr period in may and was pulled over (weight = 190-200). I live in TN. My arresting officer was a 18 yr veteran and Sgt. The transporting officer was a rookie. The Sgt screemed at me while I performed the field sobriety tests. In spight of that I did well in all but the foot elevated 6&quot; test. I cannot perform that test at anytime, let alone in my Dr. Martens. His video of my tests supposedly did not exist. The rookie was there for most of the tests, yet his audio has lots of interference(video is fine). Well his volume gets good when we get near his vehicle and when his door is opened Everything becomes clear in volume. The sgt read me my implied consent and when I asked for a lawyer(in DUI you do not have that right) the volume disappears.The video inside the cop car shows the cops hand in the vicinity of where our AC controls would be and they have a grouping of nobs. I asked about getting my own test after the volume was cut off and when I was told I could get experts to look at the blood drawn. I said that you mean that your &quot;nurse&quot; could draw my blood and no one else can. His response was correct. I have that right and had a nurse at the scene of the traffic stop after this. This is a violation of TN 55-10-410E. Case law backs this up but because it is my word (after $12,000) vs an 18 yr veteran. Yes the rookie cut the camera off, but because of a lack of evidence laws and a desire to make MADD happy, it would be difficult to expose yourself with the truth (3.5 beers) and argue that what was missing from the tape was a violation of your rights. Judges do not give a damn and it is 50/50 whether they believe me or the cops, even given that they cheated. The prosecution just collects their check and always back the cops, even when they know they are lying. That is a $12,000 gamble that is immense when you are looking at it. A lack of cop and prosecution torts (evidence tampering, witness tampering, etc) and defined immunity are the real problem. Look at what punishment the Duke Lacross prosecutor got and realize that many prosecutors are ego-maniacs that are dis-incintivized from being about justice. Plead or Bleed wins and practical people are &quot;guilty&quot;. I totally agree with Liberranter. I plead simply because of money and a lack of support (only one friend (no family member) didn&#039;t say just be practical and get past it). I despise myself for being practical and will look at that decision as one of the worst of my life.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;I&gt;[W]rongful convictions in murders, I admit, are fairly rare, although they do happen.&lt;/I&gt;

William, I&#039;m afraid that this is one of the few (perhaps only) points on which you and I disagree.  I believe that wrongful convictions for murder, though perhaps not (yet) a majority of convictions, are &lt;I&gt;very&lt;/I&gt; common, much more so than most of us are willing to admit.  Combine the weapons of judicial mass destruction at the State&#039;s disposal, the generally limited resources at a defendant&#039;s disposal for his or her defense, and the rampant --indeed, out of control-- judicial corruption and blatant witness and jury tampering on the part of the prosecution and judges, acts that you and others here have done such a phenomenal job of exposing here and elsewhere, and you have what amounts to an almost unstoppable &quot;conviction machine.&quot;  Confronted by this ravenous monster, the average defendant facing murder charges doesn&#039;t stand a chance.  

This is not limited to overtly and institutionally corrupt jurisdictions such as the LMJC in Georgia that sought to crucify Tonya Craft and God knows how many others, the Durham Black Hole that attempted to railroad the Duke Lacrosse players, and the various other perps who pop up with regularity.  Rather, it is the norm &lt;I&gt;everywhere&lt;/I&gt; in &lt;i&gt;dem neuen Amerikanischen Sicherheitsstaat.&lt;/I&gt;   

Until public defenders are given every single penny in matching funds and resources equal to what district attorneys are given, until state bar associations begin clamping down on rogue prosecutors with the same zeal with which they go after private-practice defense attorneys, and until juries become informed (and grand juries are wrested from control of prosecutors), nothing will change and the number of Brad Coopers railroaded by the system will only continue to grow.]]></description>
