Really. That is a different story.

I must admit to not having read the facts.

Basically it only serves to reinforce questions about the justice system in America in general.

“Really. That is a different story. I must admit to not having read the facts.”

It’s “really a diofferent story because it is not true. If you want to know the facts, read the trial transcripts. (NOTE: It will take you several days reading off and on.)

Well put. Let me clarify for you. There is no justice system in America. That dream went out the window shortly after the Revolution, over 200 years ago. What we have here in America is a legal industry, based on the premise that money buys you justice. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is a damn liar.

Now. In the present case, the BP agents have no serious money so the legal industry does not recognize them as customers. As a result they get no service. If they had a million dollars from some benefactor, they would be free men today. That is the cold hard reality of the legal industry in the USA circa 2008.
