The justice system is broken, but how do we fix it? ⚖️
"Blind justice" is the ideal, but the reality behind courtroom doors is a system increasingly built for efficiency rather than true equity. Having spent 35 years at the counsel table as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney, I have watched the scales unfairly tip against the accused.
In my book, Unequal Justice: The Search for Truth to Balance the Scales, I pull back the curtain on real-world cases from my career to expose these institutional imbalances. It is time to look at the realities of the courtroom and understand what it takes to protect our constitutional rights.
