In the article Blog Stage 5: Is Our Justice System Fair? written by John A M, he indicates about our unfair justice system. The case he mentions is an unfortunate even that took place in our local city. Unfortunate unfair jail time is something that happens all over the World. It happens because the cops, media, judges, prosecutors, and even then family of the slain want to put blame on someone weather they did the crime or not. Our justice system is not always fare in my opinion because the decision of whether one is innocent or not is made by human and not by evidence. The article LOS ANGELES TIMES: Innocent but executed? proves that no matter how much evidence one has to prove their innocence there is still a human behind the decision. This article also hits home because it’s a Texas case and it involves our own Governor Rick Perry. This article clearly shows what I have stated, that decisions are not based on the evidence but on image. Gov. Rick Perry is concerned for his image and not concerned that an innocent man might have been executed. This is unfortunate and we can only hope that events like this will never happen again. Unfortunately events like this will continue to happen until the people who run the justice system do right the right thing and use the justice system right.
