Is our justice system fair to everyone? While the answer to this question is an opinion, there is evidence and commentary to support this argument. The very process of the legal system is all opinion because, in the end, the only person whose judgments matter is the judge himself. Over time, the wrong people have been arrested for the wrong things. Living in the United States, a country where crimes are committed constantly; we rely on this system to make the right decisions. It is important that every case is treated equally when serving justice to keep the United States a safe place, to build a nation with good education, and to teach people to judge right and wrong. However, sometimes rights are taken away from the wrong people. Our legal system is creating a dangerous path for African Americans in our country due to its higher per capita incarceration rate, its favoritism toward those in power, and its failure to deliver justice to protect people from harm dangerous than those who are defined as criminals. Was justice really done in the case of “State of Florida v. George Zimmerman”? Is our justice system fair to all races? This case involves a 16-year-old boy from Miami named Trayvon Martin. On the night of February 26, Trayvon walked from his father's home in a gated community to a nearby store. As he was walking back he was spotted by George Zimmerman, a 28-year-old neighborhood watch volunteer. There had been several break-ins in the neighborhood in recent weeks, and Zimmerman thought a young black man walking in the rain and wearing a hoodie looked suspicious. Zimmerman then called 911 to report this person who "may be on drugs." Then he got out of the car and... middle of paper... about the case." CNN. Cable News Network, 01 January 1970.
