Food for thought

It took more than a year for the Duke University lacrosse kids who were apparently falsely accused of rape to win that battle and have the charges dropped.

Think about this. Three dudes from well off families who were able to spring $1 million apiece for their legal defense(s).

And it still took them over a year to set this right.

If you have any doubt that there is something off kilter about how our legal system works, imagine how much longer this might have dragged out if these guys had been poor and relying on public defenders.

We might have still been talking about this case several years from now.
