Forget about the judges — start with the District Attorney. They have the ability to bring and drop charges with no justifications to their hearts’ content.
By the time you actually get to the judges, you’re already too late. The process is the punishment.
Depends. If the DA pressed capital murder charges but the jury only convicted on manslaughter and the judge lets them walk, that's not the DA's fault.
True, but that’s not the norm, and it doesn’t change the fact that the process is the punishment.
Darren Wilson was cleared of all wrongdoing but his life is effectively ruined. The McMichaels might walk, but again, same thing.
Focusing on the DAs and not the judges is treating the symptom and not the problem.
In fact come to think of it you just caused me to have realization: Thats what the GOP and conservatism is all about. Gain complicity by focusing people on the symptoms (what we can see), and not problem (the people at the highest and mid-levels allowing, and incentivizing the evil spreading through America and the west).
