Heroes, zeroes, perverts and who knows. I read or heard somewhere that the DA can get an indictment against a ham sandwich. That may be so, but at some point the facts have to be sorted out. I think if there is a weak link in the chain, it may well be the DA-grand jury relationship, as that does seem to bear the greatest potential for a railroading or an injust no-billing. Once it hits the trial phase, there are a lot more elements........good/inept lawyers, etc., appeals and stays and such, that ultimately all lend themselves to a somewhat fair and allegedly impartial verdict. One thing about it all, is that it doesn't in this YouTube, digital day and age, pass muster without some serious scrutiny, and debate anymore, does it? BUbba JOe Horn, shot two illegals in the back in his front yard, for breaking into and robbing his neighbor's house......and for all the hoopla, was nobilled, and will be interviewed by Diane Sawyer tomorrow on Good Morning America.....city happenings, western justice meets the illegal immigrant at sundown, and the whole world is entrhralled and he gets his fifteen minutes of fame. Do you think the Victoria Mayor and related indictments are going to make GMA? Nah. How about Ratcliff and his seedy little local yokel proceedings........? Maybe five years down the road on 48 Hours if they are having trouble coming up with a good dirty laundry story, but likely as not, it will end with a plea and a quiet few years of time done by Mr Ratcliff. The only way the courts will ever be truly fair, and impartial, is if and when the cameras and the media is not allowed to glorify or villify, in advance, any given case, and jurists aren't exposed to their potential "fifteen minutes of fame. Report the arrests, report the verdict, and let the system function as designed during the process, without intervention from the media.........
