"" I give a shit about justice and due process.""

That's exactly your problem Gnu. You are deluded if you think that due process and justice go hand in hand.

The courts dish out LAW, not JUSTICE!

And Law is whatever a clever lawyer can make a jury believe, and also whatever technicality he can adduce to circumvent justice.

I believe in the jury system as being the best we've got, but please don't try to tell me they dish out justice, or that they can read the mind of a dead kid. Don't try to tell me either that they don't have their prejudices.

Ask the Scottsboro Boys!
