The central pillar of our justice system is due process. You have got to be charged with a crime. Then you can challenge those charges in a court of law with a trial.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You have got to make sure there's due process for somebody that's accused of a crime. You've got make sure they're safe.
In societies that profess some respect for law, suspects are apprehended and brought to fair trial. I stress 'suspects.'
It's true I didn't get a fair trial, but the problem is people don't understand the details. It is important to understand the details of the trial and why I'm not guilty under the charges that were brought against me.
We pay a lot for our court service, but it's not enough. Courts are under-resourced, which leads to delayed justice - particularly in criminal courts.
There's a simple way to solve the crime problem: obey the law; punish those who do not.
People demand a lot of the justice system and they demand things that it can't deliver.
I therefore believe that our system does not have a word for failed trial, and that is where the American public does not realize that our criminal justice system sometimes makes mistakes.
Look, the justice system is made up of people. People have faults. It's not perfect.
There is one system of justice, demanding that all be held accountable when laws are broken.
No one can just file a charge and go directly to a jury trial. That just cannot happen.
