what perturbs me most about the justice system is that in some cases everyone but the jury knows the person is guilty, and the person gets off scott free, and even the lawyer can say the person was guilty. the people that we have these laws for deserve none of the rights they are given, and yet the ones who are innocent and get stuck in the system, they are denied them somewhat. i think this did well power wise being a little rough around the edges. the length also worked for this piece too.
