San Francisco Just As Guilty In Terry Childs Case
snydeq writes "Deep End's Paul Venezia follows up on the Terry Childs sentencing, stating that the City of San Francisco is as much at fault in this case as Childs is. 'The way that the San Francisco IT department has been run is nothing short of abysmal, and that has been pointed out time and again by anyone paying attention to this case,' Venezia writes. 'Plenty of dirty laundry was aired out in court as well, yet through it all, the city has had a full-court press on Childs, and being both the plaintiff and the prosecution it spared no expense to drill Childs into the ground.' Worse, perhaps, is the disproportion of the sentence, when compared with recent convictions for intended malfeasance on the part of several notable rogue IT admins."
Welcome to the best, broken, judicial system in the world! When, seemingly, most of our judges seem unable to read and comprehend, which is both the easiest to understand and the highest law of the land, the US Constitution, how can you expect any other result?
As an interesting note, previously our federal courts have been so screwed up, over half of them were dissolved (firing the judges) at one time (I no longer remember all the details). It seems such a firing is in dire need; and then again at the state level.
The courts are for justice, not politics. When the two are confused or conflated, justice becomes impossible. Lady Justice can not serve her purpose when politics is her eyes. She's supposed to be blind, and by design.
No, we've moved to a legal system which would gladly imprison 10 innocents, despite no crime having been committed at all.
Where am I going faggot?
