Justice? What's that got to do with anything? Yes, the notion of
justice is a noble concept, but it often has little connection
with what comes out of the legal system. Remember, these are
decisions being made by a dozen folks too stupid to get out of
jury duty. :-)

Maybe, maybe not, but good luck explaining that concept to a jury,
some of whom don't have the attention span of a flea even during
the odd moments they're not sleeping.
