Everyone seems to forget that the courts apply the law but this is quite often not justice. The judges administer the law on the basis of the evidence presented at the trial. However much uncorroborated and hearsay evidence on what may have been the true crime cannot be used.
The present "knee jerk furor" is based entirely about repeat offenders serving their sentence and then committing the same crimes again. 60 years ago many American states applied the "three times you're out" and hung them. Do we want to adopt this barbarian system?
The parole system is administered by public servants, Many of them political appointees. Need I say more?
