DISCRIMINATED CRIMINALS

The Criminal Justice system has always had discrimination in it. Discrimination can come from the police, courts, or even from lawyers. For example, in the Gideon vs. Wainwright case the court ruled that the state must provide a public defender but it did not rule that the public defender must be good or competent. (“Too Poor” N.Pag.). In most cases where a public defender is provided the defendant loses the case because the lawyer …

…can and will discriminate if the officers want to and against anyone they want too at any time, anywhere, and at any place. The courts will give a person-unbalanced sentencing because the court does not want to waste the courts time and the public’s money. Most of all the incompetent public defenders are the people that will get a person locked away for a longer period of time than that person should actually be.
