There are now “seven” legal ways to commit murder!
Eye-witness testimony is not considered “good” evidence!
A newly educated public jury now finds “reasonable doubt” in everything!
“Reasonable” is now an indeterminate term of negotiation!
We play in the field of “lawyers”! “We”, the general public, can no longer figure out “What’s legal and what’s not”! It takes two competing lawyers and a jury to decide whether we are right or wrong.
The jury is chosen by experts that normally do not allow formally educated or reasonably “professionals” to be part of the selection. The selection is based upon one of the professional’s idea of what’s best for his client. Justice is NOT sought! Innocence or guilt is NOT sought!
We are trying to find out whether a situation is “more or less” guilty or innocent. It is a contest! It is not a field for the general public. It is a playing field for “experts”.
No wonder we don’t understand what’s legal and what’s not!
The basic question is:
“For how long can this deterioration of the respect for “the law” continue before (out of frustration), people begin to administer “the law” in their own hands.
Are we beginning to see the beginning?
If I don’t like you, I take the law in my own hands.
If you “disrespect me”, I take the law in my own hands.
As long as I think I’m “right”, “my” law is ok.
Is this what’s happening?…. Is this what fills the newspapers ?
What exactly is “unnecessary or undue force”?
What is “self defense”?
What am I allowed to do to protect myself or my property?
When am I “in danger”?
What do I do when the so-called “law” is not there to protect me?
Is there a clear, mutually understandable explanation somewhere?
Where is it? … Don’t you think this ought to be available to everyone? …or is this such a complicated “legal” issue that the ordinary person could not understand it?
Yet, the ordinary person is required to understand something he can’t comprehend.
How can this be?
You have rules that are not easily understandable. Where do you learn these rules? At what age do you begin? Who teaches these rules?
What do you do when an officer of the court (a lawyer) says…..”I’m supposed to deal with the Law as it is written. I do not want to know if my client is guilty or not guilty. I am here to practice the law and I owe my client to present his best defense. I will use every effort to use the law to gain my objective. I will defend him or convict him whichever is my purpose.
It is up to the jury to decide which was the better presentation…. Definitely not who is guilty or innocent!!! There is no “moral” point of view. It is merely a professional “presentation”!!
Is it any wonder that “respect for the law” is diminishing !
First, people don’t know what it is!
Secondly, how do you hold people responsible for something they don’t understand!
If all this sounds frustrating, it is meant to be so!
Is this another case of “Well, we don’t know what the answers are?”
It is so easy to send a man to the moon or make a new drug discovery. But the real important issues are giving people a “headache” and they don’t want to be bothered. Believe me, you’ll be bothered when you have to protect yourself one day!!
