American justice is not about justice. Ask any defense lawyer or hamstrung prosecutor under pressure to convict the accused even if they are blatantly innocent -- if you can make the case, you can win the case. It's not about what's right, it's a game. Sadly, the defendants are not seen as people but as game pieces in an overcrowded and chaotic system where prisons are an industry. One recent guest on our show confirmed that she was instructed to prosecute someone even though the person was clearly innocent of the charges. It isn't the way it is supposed to be, it isn't the way we imagine, and most of us are never ever aware of just how insane the situation is until we find ourselves in the middle of it. This week, our first guest is a family man working in real estate who suddenly found himself under surrounded by police and blocked by a SWAT team. "We've got you now," they exclaimed. "Got me for WHAT? I'm evaluating real estate!" Bottom line: he pleads guilty to something, anything to get 12 months and go home. What happens in those 12 months will leave you drop jawed and stunned -- the abuse behind bars was nothing compared to what happened to his life andf family while he was gone -- thousands of dollars in fraud committed in his name, using his identification. "They caught the culprits because I obviously couldnt be buying a Mercedes and a condo in Marina Del Rey at the same time I'm in prison"
Now free and eager to share his bizarre adventures in the weird world of American justice, this fine gent gives us peek into a world of law and order where the law is bendable and something is certainly out of order.
