Justice


or do we mean revenge?

An amazing insight into how the legal process operates is recorded in a book by Michael Mansfield Memoirs of a Radical Lawyer.

Michael’s book opens with his early family memories which includes vivid details of times when the world operated slower and information was held by a few controlling collections of interested parties.

Those early days when questioning authorities was a lot more arduous than now. Communication and scientific evidence to prove the truth were often withheld to get a quick result which would satisfy the controlling parties who in turn would communicate to the masses that the result was best for all.

The execution of innocent people because the evidence seemed to fit and a result could be produced to satisfy the public. Incarceration of innocent people for years for crimes they did not commit. If it were not for the efforts of people like Michael Mansfield justice would not be done.

It is the attention to detail which makes the difference and examining evidence in an impartial manner to get to the truth is the main point which Michael Mansfield constantly strives in this book which we all should read at least once in our lifetime instead of blindly following the mainstream media’s representation of news stories, without thinking for ourselves.

We have a belief that forensic evidence and DNA will be sufficient to uphold a conviction. After reading this book we owe it to ourselves to look deeper for the truth.

Our human mentality sometimes confuses the difference between justice and revenge demanding a swift outcome in preference to accepting reality.
