Beware of Hanging Juries and Judges

American justice may be questionable for folks in business.

With a fiercely anti-business sentiment administration in Washington this may be a good time to note once again a problem about a lack of civil rights for citizens who are involved in business.

Whether as entrepreneurs, small business operators, merchants, or CEOS of small and large companies. Anyone who hires employees.

They really ought to be protected as a minority, as compared to the majority who work for others.

To those unfortunates I issue a warning. Beware of Hanging Juries and Judges, should you wind up in court as a defendant. Whether in a civil or a criminal case. Whether you are innocent or guilty.

Because many members of the jury, including the judge, will be inclined to consider you guilty before you can prove yourself innocent. That, simply because you are involved in business, as an entrepreneur, merchant, or CEO of a small or large company.

Most Americans. as well as college graduates, lawyers and yes, judges, have little knowledge of business and finance.

Thus, they are influenced by the media’s negative attitude towards business and finance and they tend to harp on “greed” of those involved in industry.
