You mean there is a differing sense of what is legal and right in the US? This does not
bother you either, just because you come from a state, as do I, that does not have the death
penalty? So it's ok if Texas executes people found guilty of capital crimes, even if they may
have been underage or of questionable mental capacity at the time?

Either you are "perfectly happy" as you claim to be DESPITE any imperfections you notice, or
you are not.

Then what is to blame? Juries who do not adequately understand the law, or how the procedures
through which prosecution and defense reached their conclusions? Lack of funding to
investigate crime and defend accused who cannot afford their own Dream Team?
> The system is fair.
For everyone? Have you not noticed any discrepancies based on say, ethnicity or economic
conditions? Or geography? Can everyone get what OJ got (or did not get)?
> I said I was perfectly happy with the system.
Then YOU should be the one required to "live with" and "deal with" the system that claims to
punish or kill (federal law extends to NJ, no?) on your behalf.

And are too lazy to even be critical.

I have.

Because you are too lazy to even think on your own.
