I continue to repeat that the work to reform the criminal justice system is perhaps not business as usual. I believe it is important to highlight the tremendous progress made between 2012 and 2015.
Our unlawful justice program appeared to are in an impossible county. A backlog of violent cases got proliferated in the last several ong whatever else unsound judge transcript manufacturing, a diminished shelter council and the inability in order to convene jurors during the a punctual and productive trends.
Because of it weakened violent fairness program, constant expands offense rates meant challenging tension once the case load and enhanced through the years.
When our criminal justice system does not function as it should, criminals expect that they will never be held accountable and it becomes harder for citizens to feel confident that criminals will be brought to justice and that their justice system works.
