I have found this to be very true in our society nowadays (USA anyway)....it is very sad....the laws protect the criminals and are not there for the innocent anymore. I personally have dealt with many issues and me being the innocent party lost every time! I have pretty much lost faith in the judicial system.....and lawyers, what a joke!! You must be wealthy or a criminal to mean anything to or win with a lawyer.

Don't punish the guilty....punish the innocent who need help!!! Jean . . .
