Colorado Baker Case: Baker wins

The difference between a lawyer and a carp?
One's a scum sucking bottom dweller.
The other is a fish.

 

A waste?

Missed chance?

 

Not what I said. Don’t twist stuff, thanks. I said that because what I was getting at is that a person is guilty of having committed a crime, if they actually did commit one, whether a court says they did or not. In other words, if I rob a bank, get away with it, never get charged with it, never get tried for it, never get convicted for it, never serve prison time for it...it doesn’t mean I’m not guilty of anything. I still robbed the bank. That’s the point I’m getting at.

 

Where in particular do you believe I didn’t have a “cool head” and that I was making my comment “personal?”

 

Awesome, when will you be finished with your law/political science degree/doctorate, and what high-level government position will you be running for, to affect those changes towards perfection?

 

Ah. That would require ME to be perfect. I never have claimed to be perfect, and I dare you to find a post where I HAVE made that claim. Just because I have to rationally concede that nobody’s perfect, including myself, that doesn’t then obligate me to be “ok” with the fact there’s no perfect court system, judge, attorney, etc. If anything, that knowledge merely frustrates me more, it doesn’t relieve me. Let’s put it this way. You get accused of a crime that you DIDN’T commit. You go through a trial and, despite the fact you are, indeed, innocent, you get convicted. You then find out you will be spending a substantial amount of time in prison. Again, for a crime you DIDN’T actually commit. If I told you, “Hey, sorry to hear about your situation, but, remember, there’s no such thing as ‘perfect justice’ in this world. Just buck up,” am I to believe that you would actually view that as some reassuring consolation for you and that you WOULDN’T want to punch me in the mouth for spouting off such crass tripe?

 

Ahh, but there IS a perfect system.
It's called faith and prayer.
