Justice systems require critical watchdogs, just as democracy does. If three guys can chase down a jogger and murder him, and the system does not bring charges until months later and only after massive public outcry, then the system needs reform. Media is not a safety net, because it only covers a tiny percent of all incidents. It patches the occasional hole. Does anyone here think a city editor has staffing and column inches such that they can put a reporter on every single line of the police blotter and muckrake any irregularities? If so, put the bong down.
