im not looking at the sky, im looking at the courts. if you have money you can get out of almost anything. Fact is that the "average white makes more than the "average" black in this country. if you are relying on your court appointed attorney, you are in trouble in our courts.

maybe i'm a bit slow but mr. jacobs said that they didn't have much data on the nature of the crime. does that mean that they did not include the agravating and mitigating circumstances into the report?

"Fact is that the "average white makes more than the "average" black in this country. if you are relying on your court appointed attorney, you are in trouble in our courts."

Ramble I fear you don't believe in Justice.

Ok, Ramble suppose your interpertation of facts is that it's money that cause of the imbalance. But my point is, and hopefully you understand logic, if black on white murder is executed more often but black on black murder is not executed as often, as the study show, the conclusion is the system is bias in punishing murder according to race of the victim. Where's the justice of the black family of the victim of black on black murder than the justice of the family of the victim of black on white murder. This is why I stated that and let me repeat myself "Even in death there's no equality."

it always goes back to money in my expierence.

Rambill I know you don't believe in reincarnation but is it possible that in a past life you were a work horse with blinders that you got use to seeing only what's in front of you and not what's around you.

uh huh. ive just had a lot more years of observation than you.

Rambill I think your years of observation made you complacent in you views and you would rather keep the status quo.

nice rack, fitness.

That same compliment your woman sent me. Gee thax!

Well reflecting over the years let me just say this.

CHARLIE DONT SURF..............

Crime statistics are higher in low income areas which happen to have a high minority population.There are a greater amount of minorities in jail.why?poverty crushes your spirit,makes you angry.couple that with drugs,alchohol and youth and stupid,tragic things happen.
I also think you will find that most people who murder are career criminals.I am sure psychologically a white jury would tend to punish a minority more harshly for killing one of their own.
I think this about money for a good defense and personal jury feelings.As a poor white,i wouldn't give two cents for a fair trial if i was accused of something,can't imagine being a poor minority.Overall though,I feel the justice system does work.I mean look how many times a ham sandwich has been indicted and it hasn't seen any jail time.

raise your hand if you can write a check to an attorney for $50,000 when your accused (falsly or otherwise)of something heinous.

now those who didnt raise your hand before.... do you think your goona get the same defense as the first groupo of hand raisers?

i could barely afford my divorce..

rambill you are so right on with your thoughts. I stand and applaud you.
Just look at the juice. He could AFFORD to get away with murdering his wife Nicole Simpson. Now he is broke and miserable. AWWWWW!!!!! Poor ol OJ!!!

Well the families of the murder victims just got rights to any monies made on the book "If I did It".

GOOD TIME TO CHANGE THE TITLE Of the book, huh?

what they should do is take everyone on death row.. and make them join the millitary... that way we are not loosing good guys we loose scumbags instead

good idea except those guys would not likely follow orders and also commit more crimes against humanity.

yeah but what are they gona do... kill eachother? that would still work
