1031 – Following a High-Profile Court Case
Danny: Have you been following the Schirru case?
Carol: Yeah, I have. I think he’s guilty.
Danny: You’re kidding, right? He’s innocent and this is a show trial. The district attorney is conducting a witch-hunt for his own political ambitions.
Carol: No, he’s not. It is a high-profile case, but that’s only because he wants to make an example of Schirru. People like him should be off the streets. Putting him in jail sends a message to other criminals.
Danny: What kind of message?
Carol: The message that the government is cracking down.
Danny: I think it’s just grandstanding and Schirru is being made a sacrificial lamb.
Carol: You can believe what you like, but I think it’s great that the district attorney is taking a stand.
Danny: Yes, but he seems to be doing it at the expense of real justice.
Carol: Not from where I’m standing.
Danny: Then you need to find a new place to stand – preferably one without blind spots.
