[quote=no_such_reality]LOL, no, actually, they wouldn’t.
A legal system makes decision based on ‘the law’, technicalities, actual law, sometimes, actual intent of the law.
A justice system provides outcomes that are just, equitable, righteous. Or in simple synonym terms; good, honest, fair.
Both can be enacted quite capriciously.
If the accused was doing it to you, would you want a result that complied with the letter of the law or would you want a result that was ‘good, honest & fair’?
[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=no_such_reality]The problem is pretty simple.
There’s what will happen in the California LEGAL system.
then there is what should happen in a JUSTICE system.
don’t get the too confused. It’ll just piss you off.
The fact that the defendent is a gub’ment worker hopefully doesn’t affect it one way or another. Nor should it.
Although we can just had her to the list of bad behavior by those stringently hired and ‘qualified’ gub’ment workers.[/quote]
a justice system would probably have a lot of similarites to our legal system.
we’d probably have people, not computers, decide what to charge, and what the deal if any should be.
we’d have laws, with specific penalties.
we’d have judges probably monitor the proceedings are see if they felt the law was being complied with.
we’d probably have lots of disagreement about what those particular indicviduals actually do, sinc e reasonable people can differ …
how would a justice system differ from the current legal system, other than in terms of producing a specific outcome in a specific case?[/quote][/quote]
a justice system would have rules, though, right? And it would follow the rules? Withoutrules, it would be hard to say it was very just. you wouldn’t know ahead of time what was illegal. Or how things go. So we want to have rules. and we want to follow the rules. I think what you’re saying is have rules, but if the outcome isn’t fair or just, then don’t follow the rule.
we could do that/
except the judges might then do soem really wacky stuff….
