First of all, we don't prosecute people because
they did it...we prosecute to determine
if they did it.
^this is why I don't think it will be fair.
Full Disclosure...I personally believe Delay is one of the most corrupt, connected, sneaky, back stabbing, power hungry, favor peddling politicians I've ever seen. This is likely why he is also one of the most effective. I'm keeping an open mind on the guilt or innocence that will result from this prosecution, none-the-less.
The left has convicted him, the right has exonerated him. The outcome of this trial will make little difference, imho, with these points of view.
We'll see. I have lost almost all faith in our justice system. It is such a joke. Indictments are a freaking joke. A secret proceeding where only the prosecutor gets to spin whatever evidence they want, and exclude that which they don't like? Come on...what kind of a system is that. A law enforcement system that relies and thrives on decepetion, yet forbids, and makes it a felony for a citizen to do the same. Plea bargains, and selective prosecution? Who is running this asylum?
Check the recent boondoggles involving the enron investigations. The feds have lost their minds. The lead prosecutor recently resigned because he was THREATENING witnesses for the defense with vigor prosecutions on trumped up charges if they assisted the defense!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK. RESIGNED...why isn't ~that~ criminal in jail?
Still, I'm going to wait and see....but my gut tells me that this will not be fair, and whatever, if any, punishment is mandated will be mind bogglingly light.
