During the last half of this century we have allowed the lawyers and big law firms in this country to control justice and decide who it will be administered to within our judicial system.
Victims rights are secondary if considered at all in our court systems today.
The judicial system is in complete and total disarray. The juvenile justice system is a farce, for the lack of a better term. The district attorneys don't want to do the job they were elected to do. Our judges care little if at all about the victims or their constitutional rights. It's much easier and more profitable for all of them concerned to plea bargain with their fellow attorneys while playing golf together at the local country clubs.
