I
have maintained for some time that business folk have a terrible time
getting justice when both juries and judges have little understanding
of business, just the anti-business sentiment they get from political
cant.
A further indication of this problem: A study by professors Lucian Dervan and Vanessa Edkins at the Florida Institute of Technology, and reported in the Wall Street Journal, indicates another issue bearing on such injustice.
Oftentimes, the innocent plead guilty before trial because they feel the odds are stacked against them. And in pleading guilty they avoid a stiffer sentence from an erring judge and jury. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
