If we're so much offtopic... NH>> dollars to pour into his defence, and another guy can literally get away NH>> with murder in criminal court, and yet be found guilty in a civilian court.
That happens because the burden of proof in the civil court is lower than in the criminal court. And that is because civil courts mostly deal with matters of money and such and with conflicts between citizens, while criminal courts can use incanceration and sometimes even death penalty and represent the state against citizens. Since the state has superior power and is the only entity that is entitled to use violence up to, in certain circumstances, killing humans, it is considered reasonable that this exercise of power is restricted by requiring high degree of certainity that the actions are indeed correct and just. Sometimes it happens that due to the circumstances or the incompetence of the state's agents this degree can not be reached, and thus the power of the state can not be exercised in these cases. It is, of course, regretful, but results of an unrestricted exercise of the state power would be much more regretful. Of course, those with more money can more successully exploit said circumstances and incompetence, because they are able to hire better professionals and more of them. That does not meanthe law is different for rich and poor, just that the rich has more chance to achieve proper execution of the law. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] \/ There shall be counsels taken Stanislav Malyshev /\ Stronger than Morgul-spells phone +972-54-6524945 /\ JRRT LotR. whois:!SM8333 ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
