The 'system'...

I think I may have stumbled onto an idea of how to 'fix' our silly excuse for a court system in this country. It wouldn't cost a cent, or change anything, except one thing.

Keep it all anonymous.

No more being able to see the (poor little, attractive) victim and no being able to see the (mean looking or famous) defendant. Keep it cold and factual...factual, what a concept, huh?
Have your lawyers, the jury, the judge...keep all that shit, if ya want to, but nobody gets anything more than paperwork. No people, pictures or videos. No wailing family members, or railroaded defendants looking pissed and having that used as an affirmation of "he musta done it".

If nobody knew what Michael Jackson looked like, or who it was about when his case comes up, if that jury had to decide this case on facts and paperwork type shit alone, he probably wouldn't be convicted.
Do ya think that if, maybe, that jury in L.A. had only paperwork and cold hard facts to go on, that OJ woulda walked? I doubt it, even though I'm one of the few (assholes, idiots...whatever. Bite me.) who aren't convinced he did it. I don't have my doubts because he's OJ. I don't give a rats ass about OJ. I'm not convinced because of the shitty job they did investigating the thing and because of that lying fuck, Furhman. (And, if I spelled that jerks name wrong, I really don't care. 'Fuckhead' would suffice.)

Anyway, we get the emotion out of our courts, we may get more justice. Cases should be decided on facts alone, not appearances, hystrionics, emotion and horseshit, like they are now.
