Biased Justice
Biased Justice
I remember this quote, “Equal justice under law is not just a caption on the façade of the supreme court building. It is fundamental that justice should be the same, in substance and availability, without regard to economic status, by Justice Lewis Powell Jr,” when I read the cases of Edel Gonzalez and Ethan couch. On the light of above quote and the two cases (incidents that would be further discuss more) I would like to discuss the effects of rich power on the justice and how bad upbringing of the children affects the society. And not only society also the future of the younger generation. As only the rich are able to escape the sentence to life in prison but the rest of them are leading their whole life in prison. So in the essay the discussion will continue with, sentence to life in prison should that be given or not.
Justice being biased is a very bad thing. This will give a very bad impact both on the justice and also on the ones who will be facing the punishments. The ones committed the crime or even a part of that crime will be facing the prison and the ones who committed the crime and they are also rich will be left free and enjoying all the benefits of life. Everyone should be equally punished. The law which is going to judge what is right and what is wrong will it self be biased how can we have trust on the courts that it will provide us fair justice. According the article in the Los Angeles Times on January 13, 2014 titled “Growing up in prison”, the two important people in the context: Edel Gonzalez and Ethan Couch, whose lives changed drastically based on a judgement. I believe in the saying, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, by Martin”, and hence when I relate it this to our topic, Ethan Couch by buying the justice into his hands, has brought injustice to all the four people he killed. He should actually be punished as per the law as he was drunk also when he committed that crime. Drunk and drive
