WTF is wrong with our legal system?

Some quick round ups from recent appellate decisions...
A lot of
here...
Washington Post
quote:
High Point, N.C. officer allows police doggie to bite unresisting homeless man twice after realizing the man is not the robbery suspect he’s pursuing. Fourth Circuit (over a dissent): Qualified immunity.
quote:
During prolonged interrogation, Milwaukee detectives falsely tell intellectually disabled suspect that he failed a polygraph and that eyewitnesses identified him as the murderer. He proclaims his innocence more than 140 times, but eventually confesses and spends over a year in jail before the confession is suppressed and the charges are dropped. Can he sue the detectives for coercing the confession? He cannot, says the Seventh Circuit.
quote:
Officers at Stearns County, Minn. jail listen to pre-trial detainee shriek, bang his head against the door of his cell for eight hours. Deliberate indifference to his medical needs? Could be, says the Eighth Circuit. But officers who held him down and tasered him are immune from the excessive-force claim arising from his death.
quote:
Oklahoma prosecutor issues fake subpoenas, bogus arrest warrants in attempt to force three underage witnesses to testify against murder suspect — and does not inform their parents or get them counsel. (One, a 12 year old, testifies but later recants.) The suspect spends 16 years in prison, much of it on death row, before being freed. Oklahoma Supreme Court: No need to disbar the prosecutor.
quote:
Inmate spreads feces about his cell. While he is restrained and compliant, an officer allegedly punches him in the gut. The officer is fired. North Carolina court (over a dissent): Reinstate him.

Normally I would agree, but they linked each and every court decision to each incident.
Should I link them here?

Without reading beyond "Some quick round ups from recent appellate decisions" I can answer to some degree,
It is a complicated system that is suppose to be fair, it would only be fair if everyone was able to pay for the same quality lawyers.
There are people who stay in jail for longer than they should because although their bond is set low, they still can't afford it. Then there are people who should have to stay in jail longer than they do, get out ASAP because, even though the bond is set extremely high, they have the means to get out.
There are people in jail, who will stay there until their court date. In some cases, their sentence is shorter than the time they already served... Which means, more tax dollars than should have been spent, is spent on these people.
One example of what's wrong with the legal system is the animal who broke into the house of a mother and daughter (was it in spanish town?), killed the mother and injured the daughter. He should have been in jail, but Judy White happened.
To be continued...

so what? we already knew lawyers and judges suck, racism is fine when its blacks who are the racists, and O J Simpson and Casey Anthony got away with murder.
life isn't fair and everyone is out to get you if you don't watch your back and never trust anyone, not even family and especially not your friends
