The above title is taken from the feature article by Prof. H. Patrick Furman. (Patrick is a Clinical Professor of Law in the Legal Aid and Defender Program; and a Director of Clinical Programs at the University of Colorado School of Law). It is amazing how the issues we contend with today has always been there with us. The causes, effects, consequences and impact has always been the same.
It’s like we never noticed. Yes, never noticed, until we look more intently at the skewed nature of justice; and how some unfortunate folks are at the receiving end of society’s negligence, indifference and sometimes, outrightly living in denial. Prof. Patrick’s article is well researched. Read the entire piece in ‘The Colorado Lawyer’ here http://lawweb.colorado.edu/profiles/pubpdfs/furman/03SeptTCL-Furman.pdf

Re Accuracy of the Criminal Justice System
At the risk of being indicted for cynical thoughts , I suggest that, even for those with a J.D. and with the legal acumen of the late Judge Learned Hand, that understanding the string theory is easier than understanding the WHY of the INaccuracy of the Criminal Justice System.
