Case Study Response: The Legal System is 7/10?

After reading, viewing, writing about, and hearing different case studies, I'd give our legal system a 7/10 - a %70. Let's start with the extremes. It's not a 0/10 because, well, if I was caught stealing bread, I'd probably get punished for stealing bread and not much else. the repercussions to my actions would be delivered by the court system. The system isn't perfect or 10/10 because certain people and crimes slip through.OJ and Von Bulow used monetary power to escape the consequences of their actions. I take another point off for simply not being equal. A system meant for all should treat everyone equally. Certain figures , such as police officers, have an easier time in court as they have societal authority and are simply treated better as people believe that officers are good. As Mr. Jack once said, "Just be a rich white police officer," and you'll be good for life. That leaves us at 8/10. Another point is deducted for excessive punishment at times. When the system is meant to deliver justice, it at times over-punishes individuals. In the San Francisco dog mauling, was life imprisonment really fair? Yes, the owner of the presa canarios should probably have not had animals that were trained as weapons, but, taking her life away over an accident? Hefty fines and sometime in prison would have been enough to teach her a lesson and stop her from being a menace to society. By imprisoning her indefinitely, she only becomes a burden to society as opposed to being a beneficiary. So that leaves us at 7/10. The legal system we have isn't perfect, it can really screw you over, but, it does kinda do the job for the most part. Improvement could definitely be made in equality and punishment. All in all, it's okay, but, not that great.
