New York grand jury

Pro­test­ers have been protest­ing the facts but they do not have the truth.

What they have is what the media have pub­lished.

That is not the truth.

You see there is a seri­ous prob­lem with the jus­tice sys­tem in this nation and it is the propen­si­ty to over charge alleged crime.

We have seen this many times over the last few years.

Hun­dreds of times actu­al­ly, what they are doing is to charge a crime at the max­i­mum, if some­one is remote­ly involved in a crime where some­one dies, they are charged with first degree mur­der and they ask for the max­i­mum, a death sen­tence.

The prob­lem with this strat­e­gy is that it no longer works.

You see what they should be doing is when they have these cas­es where they have lit­tle or no direct evi­dence of a def­i­nite crim­i­nal act that is “beyond a rea­son­able doubt” then they need to charge the crime accord­ing­ly.

Take the Caylee Antho­ny case, that should have been invol­un­tary manslaugh­ter.

If they had charged the crime effec­tive­ly that girl would still be in jail now…

Same thing goes for the Fer­gu­son case as well as the New york case.

If they had charged the crimes in a rea­son­able man­ner then the grand jury would have had no prob­lem indict­ing them based on a rea­son­able cer­tain­ty that should the par­ty have been inno­cent they would pre­vail in a court of law.

This is the prob­lem we have with our jus­tice sys­tem and it should be fixed.

When there is a lack of direct evi­dence that demon­strates clear intent to take a life then they need to make adjust­ments.

All of these sit­u­a­tions could have been dif­fer­ent.

But because of incom­pe­tence in the jus­tice sys­tem an injus­tice may have been allowed to occur.

It is not always clear cut, but when you look at what the charges are it does affect the out­come.
