This story and viral documentary certainly changed my perceptions and awareness. I will never believe accusations in the news nor the perp walks that are hyped. My son is at fort bliss two enlisted men there just made headlines accused of murder with $1MM each in bond. Bliss is on the most dangerous border we have in our country. The victim is a boy who was allegedly their drug dealer. I read this story with a completely open mind and so far their only 'evidemce' is based on 3rd party speculation. http://fxn.ws/20IEqOT. A month ago I wouldn't have thought twice about their guilt. The army's response to questions were no comment, we are reviewing the facts - glad to see that. So far this awareness, I am grateful. Then IRL saw a car pulled over in my little town last night. One police car and two big sherrif suv's lights ablaze. Suddenly that didn't look right to me. Drivers were two kids and who never got out of their car - why were all of them involved? Idk. This new awareness and the understanding that our public defenders - only 15,000 for the entire US.pop working an average 150 cases at one time are overwhelmed and under paid (see Gideon's Army on Netflix). This is an imbalance and a shame, stacked against the poor is A PROBLEM. So we keep convicting the poor who then they cannot get bail, jobs and a license to drive to work and are denied financial aid for college (mostly and in some states like GA) ergo more criminals which becomes a horrible growing vicious cycle. The realization that we have a global reputation as locking up our citizens and have terrifying prison systems being land of the free country starts to sound cliche. We need to demand change. Public defenders need the pay and resources available to the tax payer funded prosecutors. Attract more attorneys to this side and now it's a fair fight. Newly certified attorneys have in a lot of instances 6 figure debt for student loans. At the very least, a 5 year commitment as a public defender should be rewarded for loan forgiveness. Now you get more, stronger, and ultimately empathetic seasoned attorneys and fewer convictions due to lack of $$$. The middle class is disappearing in this country. If things do not change, it could be any one of us who are next. Our judicial system is biased, not blind.
