well, if the golddigging whore gets a better lawyer and the jury is dumb enough, he´s fucked.
same with death penalty, if the opposing lawyer is better than yours at manipulating the jury, you are fucked (Same as that guy who got 25 years for a rape he didnt do)
(basically, if you are poor in america, getting true justice at the courts is like expecting to win at bingo, every time.)
