Sep 26, 2012 No Comments by

The following video was produced with the partnership of the American Civil Liberties Union, Constitution Project, and National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. Hopefully it sheds some light on the reality that is the judicial system here in the United States, as opposed to what we see on television.

But is that the reality in the United States? Watch this video to have your mind blown about how unjust our system truly is.
