New comment by hardik in "Go to Trial - Crash the Justice System"

hardik — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 17:39:45 +0000

There is something informally called "trial tax" in the American justice system wherein if you decide to go for trial the punishment on guilty verdict is much higher than on plea bargain.

A famous case was that of Vincent Bogan in late 80s who was given a sentence of 75 years in maximum security for three counts of armed robbery (which is quite high for the crime charged) because he refused plea bargain and went for jury trial.

I am surprised there is no mention of environmental impact of fracking and that some countries are planning to ban it.

Quite agree with you. Moreover, people who try to find structure are often left with a feeling of being let down. Perhaps it has become part of modern coming of age to realze that there is no structure. I think Tolstoy also tried to bring out this point in his works, esp War and Peace but also other works like Anna Karenina as well.
