Chris Hedges: This Hero Didn’t Stand a Chance

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article28373.htm

"...the judge refused to let DeChristopher’s defense team inform the jury that the auction was later overturned and declared illegal. The judge also refused to let the defense team inform the jury that DeChristopher had raised the money for the initial payment and offered it to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which then refused to accept it. "

"...the role of the jury has been minimized in our criminal justice system. Juries are no longer given the opportunity to weigh all the factors of a case and are specifically told they are not allowed to use their conscience. It is not their job to decide if things are right or wrong. This is a drastic departure from the system that was originally created in this country.”



THIS IS THE KIND OF STORY THAT JUST INFURIATES YOU AND MAKES YOU WANT TO DESTROY OUR CURRENT SO-CALLED 'JUSTICE' SYSTEM
