No, I don’t have a ‘rosy’ view of our legal system, and I am NOT wrong. I have made it clear in my posts that NY is but One of the FIFTY United States. It is NOT typical of what goes on in most of the others.
I think many of the 8 Million NYC residents would object to you calling them low class.
In the hinterlands (even 50 miles from Times Square) and especially in Red states, the populace has a different view of civic duty. The courts run much more smoothly.
The fact that I don’t practice criminal law doesn’t mean I don’t observe many criminal trials. The nature of a smaller state is that often the same judge in the same courtroom will hear both criminal and civil cases on the same day. If my case is not called first I may have to sit through a criminal proceeding until my turn comes.
