Must say, sitting on the outside watching in having no skin in the game, it appears to me that the USA is run by attorneys, judges voted in (?), with a jury who is there not by choice. Big business if you ask me.
I always say there are 5 sides to a case:
1) Accuser’s version of the truth.
2) What the accuser’s attorney understands that truth to be.
3) The accused version of the truth.
4)Â What the accused attorney understands that truth to be.
5) The truth as the Judge says it is.
Note: We don’t have juries In SA, thank heavens for that! 🙂
Roman-Dutch law any day.
