"America's failed
legal system"
Concerning the acquittal of child
murderer Casey Anthony, most TV legal pundits are exalting
America's legal system, saying, "The legal system worked."
What a farce.
It did not work. As with the O.J. Simpson trial, it failed
miserably.
Our legal system allows a clever, unscrupulous defense attorney
(spell that s-c-u-m-b-a-g) to outright lie and harmfully slander
innocent others just for the sake of defending his client.
They say, "He/she is entitled to a defense." True, but a
defense should only be allowed with truth. Defense
attorneys feel they have the right to lie, invent scenarios, and
slander others, without evidence, to deceive and mislead the
jury. That is wrong, wrong, wrong!!!
Only someone like fellow Hispanic and illegal immigration
supporter, Geraldo Rivera, would rant to defend Hispanic defense
counsel, Jose Baez. Fox News should fire that perpetually
misguided character.
To be admitted to the bar, all attorneys should be required to
pledge to always seek the truth and renounce lying and
fabricated defense scenarios. Some would still lie, but
such a pledge might help justice prevail in more cases.
In the meantime, little Kaylee Anthony lies dead in her grave,
and our legal system says that no one is guilty of killing
her. Outrageous! The prosecution's case was
powerful. It could not have been stronger. But the
truth was not good enough. The jury believed a lying
lawyer.
But little Kaylee is with Jesus and very happy right now.
And the great and supreme Judge of the universe, God, will make
the final verdict. There is only one way that Casey, or
any of us, can escape God's judgment and wrath, and that is by
the bloody sacrifice of his Son, for our sakes. Let is
pray that Casey will find Jesus and that mercy and grace
provided only through Him.
