Lawyers Run Courts as a Business

Surprise! Courts are a business and a sport run for and by licensed attorneys. It is a game that one side wins. Sometimes the fix is in. Most times it is based on who is more diligent or negligent. A sleeping attorney is competent counsel according to the Supreme Court of the US. Courts allow only "evidence" as testimony. Truth is not what courts find. Cases are decided based on evidence. In Plato's Republic where justice is discussed, Thrasymachus suggests that justice is "the interests of the stronger." Does that explain why wealthy, politically connected defendants get away with murder?
