Tell me when any one of you has seen a lawyer or a Judge sit in a jury box.
It's usual a jury who awards the large sums of $ in these cases. A jury comprised of citizens.
Don't get pissed off at attorneys forasking for more and more money. I can't speak for everyone, but I know I probably won't ever turn down a pay raise. We as citizens give them the money, just like we buy hats and jerseys and sporting tickets so athletes can get $100,000,000 contracts.
Trust me it is much deeper than you could ever possible know.....I work with lawyers and judges every day. The criminal justice system is a trillion dollar buisiness sponsered by tax payers and consumers in the name of "justice".
That's funny, I've worked in the criminal justice system for the past seven years and lived with a lawyer for the past 4.... Guess I'm really missing something.
