I have read over and over the gaping differences in sentencing for those who plea out versus those who fight for their lives and innocence. It is as if people are simply punished for enabling the justice system participants to actually do the very job they were hired by taxpayers dollars (some of which the accused/convicted contributed toward) to do. Coupled with the Grand Jury circus/master of ceremonies shenanigans, and the potential lack of funds due to seizure of assets, how is any of this system fair to someone in the potential hot seat? These are people's lives. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-50101348006938676802013-02-05T09:54:10.372-05:002013-02-05T09:54:10.372-05:00Donald Sheldon
