Stacked Against Terence Smith
Manage episode 365545748 series 3426170
Black Light Mass Incarceration Show
It's truly regrettable that the infamous 'trial penalty' has gained such prevalence in our justice system. It's simply unjust that individuals are coerced into relinquishing their rights in order to avoid receiving an even more severe sentence. The case of Terence serves as a prime example of how the system can be manipulated, with his decision to undergo trial leading to an even more severe punishment. It's vital that we strive towards a justice system that is impartial and fair to all, and that doesn't impose penalties on individuals for exercising their right to a trial.
