Early release of criminals shows court malfunction
In your editorial on Dec. 16, you write: “Our leaders should save their disgust for instances when judges disregard the law. Perdue, however, is exploiting a volatile issue to direct public animosity toward the courts.”
Former Gov. Jim Hunt has been quoted as saying much the same thing as Perdue on this issue. Would you accuse him of trying to direct public animosity against the courts?
There are times when the system of justice malfunctions, such as the acquittals in that too-often-referred-to-and-infamous Greensboro shoot-out. Releasing dangerous prisoners on legal technicalities looks to some people like another malfunction.
