Justice you will receive in the afterlife, in this world we have The Law.
Thats an approximate quote from someone famous (saw it in the intro to a book I started reading a while back) - vague statements I know.
But the point is, dont expect too much from the law, its there for our good by and large, but its too expensive for the common man so is skewed towards the rich for that reason, its full of frustrations and delays etc. However its better than the lynch mob mentality, so we have to suffer along with it and try to repair and refine it as we go.
If we lower our expectations of justice systems we'll gain a more realistic viewpoint. Things that bug me - double jeopardy - if there's new evidence then try them again, and again, and again if we find out more relevant facts each time.
