Why Is It So Hard To Put Obviously Guilty Criminals In Jail?.... [View all]

How did all these laws and 'technicalities' get created that seem to protect the criminal these days?

Did these laws and 'technicalities' get established by lawyers - so that they could insert themselves into trials for a long period of time to build up their billing hours?

We're seeing all these 'technicalities' come to light with this Highland Park shooting as well as seeing how all of the Tr**p criminals use the law to delay and find loopholes to evade accountability.

What did we do before GPS systems that are able to track the trajectory of bullets from the shooter to the person hit/killed and beyond? Why do we need such technology to put into evidence? Before GPS certainly - criminals were found guilty and jailed.

These days it seems like the law is more on the side of the bad guys than the good guys.

What's the story here?
