Default Education and access to practical information is one way to change the system.

After hearing all the facts and information they made a unanimous decision of not guilty. For all of us to pontificate as to why this was good or bad is stupid. We only hear what so the so called media wants us to hear, not everything as that jury did. The media has made a circus of this and will not let it go. Either we accept our legal system as is or work to change it. But stop trying to second guess it.

And if Eric Holder or Harry Reid or Al Sharlaton or the NAACP continue to stir the pot, they are the one's that should be prosecuted. You can't try a person a second time for the same thing, that is called double jeopardy and is not allowed under our legal system. They are all grand standing for political gain.
Get involved with the work I have been doing trying to get more practical materials for survivors/victims of crimes accessible through libraries and Sheriffs' web-sites. That is one way to change the system. This applies to both people who have been victimized by people breaking the law as well as those unfairly accused for crimes they did not commit.

We do need jurors who are better educated in the legal system and its strengths and weaknesses.
