Barbara I agree that we have seen various depradations of and by our legal system which demonstrate where we have missed the mark, depradations Joyce Vance, HCR, and Rachel Maddow have illuminated for us going back at least to WWII trials of how many congressmen (dozens?) regarding their conspiring with the Hitler regime yet a trial which ended up in a circus leaving no-one legally accountable yet none of them was re-elected. That these betrayals of and by our legal system remain so visible seems a commentary on the majority of the system which works sufficiently that we still recognize when it doesn't provide "equal justice for all." I have seen reporting about several efforts by various law schools to reconsider and retry the gravest miscarriages of justice for defendants on death row who have received inadequate defense council. No the system isn't perfect yet I'd ask which country's legal system would you trade ours for?
