re: WTF is wrong with our legal system?

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...
