31. Kickin It!
Edited on Wed Apr-27-05 11:31 AM by thecai
A defense legal fund is a great idea, but with the mass corruption within our gvt., it could be a complete waste of time and money.
I know a Grandmother who paid $5,000 to bail an innocent suspect out of jail, the prosecutors signed the bond, the bailbondsman took the money, the suspect never left his cell, the prosecutors added new charges and the bail was raised to $2,000,000, cash only. The bondsman refused to refund the money, but after years of legal battles, did refund HALF of the money to the Grandmother.
The suspect never received a fair trial but rather a corrupt mockery of justice wrongful conviction, has appealed, it was denied, appealed again, and is still languishing in a filthy prison, nine years after his arrest, waiting for word on his last appeal.
