Absolutely - and while we're at it we should get rid of that pesky "innocent until proven guilty" stuff too.

When I found out that criminals could sue people for getting injured in their homes while committing crimes, I was completely outdone. I think for the most part our justice system could use some work.

As for putting his eyes out, I see no reason for them to be humane about it. They should do the same thing to him that he did to her.

I feel so bad for this poor woman.

I'm not sure if I heard the video correctly, but didn't they go ahead and agree with her and say he's going to pay in the same manner?

Seriously - people have rights, no matter what they've done. This is not a bad thing. I challenge you to find a better system than ours, anywhere - from Britain to Jordan to Narnia, I'm almost 100% sure you can't find one.

Yeah, I've heard of this before. A friend of mine is a law student, and she and I got into a debate about other countries legal systems. I'm no law student, but she was saying the same thing you are about other countries. My argument is how is our legal system any better when clearly you have to have money in order to get off, when you've done the crime? Like OJs first crime with his wife, we all know he killed her. To think differently shows complete stupidity. If that were me or anyone else on this board, that trial would have been over in two minutes and we would still be in prison. How is that justice? In other countries can the criminal actually sue? Like deepimpact said. That's stupid. Rights? Why? So Ted Bundy should have rights after he killed all of those women. Just lock em' up and throw away the key. So what makes our justice system any better than theirs?

Yeah, I agree. We also need to get rid of the pleading insanity rule too. It's dumb. Charles Manson is a good example of that. He lucked up and escaped the death penalty too. And that reminds me, death row is unecessary too. Get rid of it. If you know they've done the crime, kill em' right away. What's the point of a death row? Doesn't make sense to me. Sorry guys, our justice system sucks and frankly I think it's just as bad as other countries. Here it's all about money. How is that any better? It's still an unfair system that can be made fair.
