| Message | We would definitely be able to help you with Article II. However, your thoughts on Article I are completely wrong. You must remember, that it is not money being paid to criminals. It is money being paid to citizens of this country who may be innocent. They, of course, may be guilty, but it is extremely important in a democracy that fair trials take place. And income or wealth should not affect one's entitlement to a fair trial. A case must be made before the jury for the defence. This is most definitely one area that a government should pay for. |
