Yesterday Zacarias Moussaoui, a Morroccon immigrant, was found eligible for the death penalty. He was complicit in the Sept. 11, 2001 bombings of the World Trade Towers where 3000 people died. 9/11 happened over 4 years ago. American justice is just now closing the case. Think about it. Terrorists killed 3000 people in New York within hours. It takes America over 4 years to serve up justice to only a minor player. If this were a ball game America would have lost.
Our legal system effectively exists more to serve the financial interests of the players rather than pursuing quick efficient justice. This includes lawyers, judges and the bureaucratic layers that serve the trial theater. There is more money in delaying justice . The players in America's legal system enjoy the comfort of a non-competitive atmosphere in an otherwise extremely competitive world. There should be an incentive for quick inexpensive justice. my suggestion would limit all lawyer fees to a fixed amount so that the quicker the resolution the higher the hourly rate.
