THE FACADE OF JUSTICE When it becomes more important to convict the innocent for personal gain than search for the truth, the moral state of the human race is beyond redemption. All it takes to be convicted, whether by the populous or in a court of law, is to insinuate, regardless of whom is hurt by it. Facts become of little use, when the legal system throws out or disallows information that goes against the complaint and in favor of the defendant. It appears that both the legal system and some specific individuals put on the "horse blinders" and convict the innocent because of personal desires. It appears that in no way do they try to "look around the corner" and see if there is a "difference in the scenery". All they see and hear, is what they personally intend. It might not look as good for them, by their friends and neighbors, if they use some compassion and question whether or not the accusations are true or not. When an individual has no money and little to no status in the community, they are at the mercy of this country and how it treats the honest, down trodden and/or poorly educated. When it comes to justice in this country, drug dealers and the like have more rights built for them than the rest of us who have given of our time in the armed forces and paid our legal and due taxes. There are truly very few Americans who support this country and many who are just out to "suck it dry". The latter are the ones with the majority of the "rights". When I was in the service during the Vietnam conflict, I truly thought that I was performing my duty in preserving mine and others "God's given rights". What I have learned in the mean time is that these rights are only for the one's with power, money, influence, or with criminal intent. They are not for the poor slob who struggles day by day to just survive. If you are an accuser, there is little to no cost at all, but to try and prove your innocence is all on you. To repeat, it cost little to nothing to accuse, but can cost thousands of dollars, if not even life itself to prove one's innocence. It doesn't take much of an act to sway the many in the direction of falsehood. Some accusers, because of their ignorance, even sincerely believe in what they verbally state as truth. It should be up to the legal system to look at both sides with the same aggressiveness, with nothing with-held from the jurors who have to decide an individuals fate. As it is, the evidence is "tilted" in the favor of the prosecution. The powers of the attorneys involved can be as an unbalanced scale, when the attorneys for the state are generally very much "tried and proved" trial attorneys, whereas the paupers attorneys are earning their way, with little to no monies available. With all this an individual starts out as guilty, with little chance of proving innocence. It has even been said by an area attorney that "it is not for the prosecution to prove guilt, but for the defense to prove innocence". This is just the opposite of what we are told in "government 101"! One of the saddest things is that, in the minds of the attorneys for the prosecution, they truly believe in their endeavor. I have witnessed in the course of my life, that most attorneys for the prosecution have a purpose that is not in finding justice, but in the pursuit of a cause and that a specific few of investigating officers are not for the performance of a duty but in the self-centeredness of proving their unquestionable power.
