still, not much of a trial if justice isn't being served: in fact injustice is increasing!


Justice is not revenge.


Exactly. People are being executed to please the community, make them feel safe, prove the system works, give the relatives solace. Injustice is increasing.

People are getting away with murder or more, thus causing innocent executions and perhaps continuing their crime.

As far as I'm concerned, when an innocent black man or anyone else is thrown into the execution chamber for the aforementioned motives, that's murder in the guise of justice: relatives want revenge, any revenge to ease the grief, to hell with justice! Prosecutors want a string of successes.

Innocents end up as scapegoats. Case closed. Everyone moves on. Go read some of those last statements. Some could be lying, but others are there as a result of a judicial system used and abused for anything but justice.
