Justice System Needs to Be Overhauled

RECEIVED Mon., Oct. 4, 2004

Sirs,
   The cover story of Sept. 24 ["If You're White, It's All Right," News] points out what I've long suspected: Texas has a fantastic legal system. All it is lacking is a justice system. The good ol' boy system of backroom deals needs to be scrapped. In many cases it makes the "justice dealers" as culpable as the accused.
