Common sense isn't something we Atlantans see a lot of from our elected officials, however. So many mistakes were made before and during this whole incident that all of our local law enforcement (both city and county) are looking like keystone kops. Now they're "beefing up security" in courthouses. Duh. I really don't think the problem has to do with Georgia laws; it has to do with the incompetence of our local law enforcement.

The more money you have, the better your chances of getting off. I am in agreement w/you on this one. WTF? There doesn't seem to be a real deterent to prevent people from committing crimes anymore. If you go to prison, you get 3 squares a day, an education, medical treatment w/o a fee, etc. Shit, I'm thinking of going myself just so I can rub elbows w/Martha. (oh wait, scratch that, she is out already..DAMN!) Our legal system has gone from being an arena of justice to an arena of high paid attorneys.

It might influence them also. They must come to court wearing a suit. I agree it's totally stupid, and treat them like criminals. They are criminals, and I doubt it will influence anybody.
