I have a similar experience with our "legal" system, spending tens of thousands to defend reduculous accusations. I am glad I used to have means for a good lawyer. And I am really glad you get out of it too. You could have been certainly raped and beaten on the dayly basis. Taxas in a terrible place to get in trouble: http://www.spr.org http://www.hrw.org/reports/2001/prison/ http://slate.msn.com/id/2089095/ With 2.2 million jailed/imprisoned, mostly for petty crimes, this coutry is becoming a new gulag even if the majority is still unaware of it. With the number of policemen and lawyers the highest in world the beast is after new pastures. C'mon guys try it first before rushing to judgements. Go to a bar on a Friday night, have a drink, return back and start your car. Get arrested, spend a weekend in a lockup, with chances of being raped and beated severely. Of visit your child in the wrong time, of just meet a wrong girl who is after your money. As one of my county judges described our jail: "Its a hell on earth. Nobody should be kept there." And my state is perhaps one of the calmest in the country.
