You are guilty unless u can prove your innocence. I read 'Vernon God Little' a month ago, and am reading 'Arthur and George' these days; am struck by a certain similarity in the system of justice portrayed.
Vernon and George. Ordinary people. Yet one fine day they find themselves at the centre of a nation's attention. Charged with committing heinous crimes, they are persecuted simply because they cannot prove their innocence before a criminal court.
Reinforces my belief that there is in this world, no single truth. And justice, then, is nothing more than the truth that is the most convincing. Lady Justice; blindfolded, tricked by mischievous logic.
