I don't know what would make it better, but it clearly isn't keeping up with how people really live.
Please don't bash me.
I just am sharing my musings.

Gracie I agree there must be flaws in our justice system. Wrongly convicted prisoners are being released everyday----mostly based on DNA evidence----after having served many years locked up as innocent victims of our justice system. The relative new DNA developments hopefully will help improve the justice system in certain cases. I was recently called for jury duty. A plea deal was made and we were dismissed. Plea agreements are quite common, otherwise, our courts would be "clogged" even more than they already are. I just wonder if there is a direct correlation between the number of cases our courts deal with to the date that lawyers started advertising. I would bet there is!
