Trolley Problem Suppose that a judge or magistrate is faced with rioters demanding that a culprit be found for a certain crime and threatening otherwise to take their own bloody revenge on a particular section of the community. The real culprit being unknown, the judge sees himself as able to prevent the bloodshed only by framing some innocent person and having him executed.
This is precisely the story of RINO Jim Ryan framing Rolando Cruz and Richard M Daley framing the Ford Heights Four. In both cases, the politician thought the voters demanded law n order more than justice and pandered to the voters to posture for future elections.
The kneejerk reaction was to ban capital punishment rather than to punish mis-behaving lawyers.
