A significant issue facing pretrial decision makers is how to ensure that all defendants, rich and poor, black and white, male and female, are afforded the same degree of protection from unfair processing by the criminal justice system. How can that be
achieved?
What will be an ideal response?
One must rely on the adversarial nature of the court system for accomplishing justice. Defense attorneys must have access to resources to provide an adequate defense and work to protect the rights of individuals. Prosecutions must balance these rights against the safety of the community. Judges should be neutral and ensure that injustices do not occur. If the system works within its intent, then all people should be protected from unfair processing.
