Our legal system is too liberal

Dear Editor,

Many years back I had loads of faith and trust in our legal system.

Sadly to say, I lost faith and I certainly don’t trust them as I once did. Our legal system is way too liberal and they only care for the guilty, and not us American taxpaying citizens. They would rather see us in fear, than let us have justice.

Here is a very serious question for you to think strongly on. Why pay tax if we are not able to receive free legal counsel? The guilty get free counseling but the victims of unjust treatment have to pay. What’s wrong with this picture?

I’m tired of the legal system playing political favorites, and it’s time for justice to be given to taxpaying victims.

We don’t want the statute of limitation thrown in our face so the guilty can go free. Here are some Bible scriptures to look up, read, and pray on. Revelation 22:11; Acts 24:15; Matthew 5:45; Romans 6:13; I Peter 3:10.
