I am disappointed in the way things work in our courts and jails. I'm not an expert, but I have spent about 96 hours in courtrooms over the last year (just did the math!).
Here is what I see:
1. Its all about the money. If you have money to pay an attorney you get treated like your important and are given special consideration. If you are assigned a public defender you are treated like you are "less than". AND if you have a public defender and are in custody - forget about it, you are the lowest level possible.
Today I sat in on come court proceedings that have nothing to do with my son. I was there being "ears" for someone else. The case has been dragging on for about two years.
