The Game: Trial by Chance

By Carrie K. Hutchens

Our judicial system is being proven to be nothing more than a game of "trial by chance" with rules and rulings that often show no hint of fairness nor speck of justice. Spin the wheel and hold your breath, what comes around nobody knows. Snake eyes -- you're guilty. Uno and Crazy Eight -- maybe you'll win and maybe you won't. Will the game be fixed or fair? A bad hair day or too much starch in the collar? Another guess... another chance... who'll be next to lose the game?

Will it be a mother fighting to raise her children on a salary not fit for the least of us? A mother who hasn't the money to fight the huge corporation that preys on those who cannot fight back? The corporation with lawyers to spare and time on their hands, just looking for the easy buck here and there? Enough of them mothers and fathers and families and there's a fortune to be made. After all -- the original account -- whether due or not -- is only doubled or tripled and sometimes more. Then add the attorney fees and court costs, and whatever else got thrown into the pot and there's quite a prize to be made on tons that didn't see it coming and had no way to fight back when it slammed into their lives.

It's gone further than that. Now they have a debtor's prison gig in some areas that is called, "body attachment", which supposedly takes it around the bend and allows them to arrest people for debts. After all, it isn't arresting people for a debt -- it called a "body attachment" -- and in their eyes -- that makes all the difference in the world. However, short of the story is... they arrest people for a debt that had no clue that was a possibility, and then there is sometimes the STRIP SEARCH, and a bond, and the loss of work because they are in jail (with criminals that assault, steal and kill) and then the attempt of the collection company to then actually collect the bond as payment towards the debt. This is not a debtor's prison scenario and worse?

When did this round-the-bend arrest become legal in any sense?

When did contempt of court become a means to get those who could not otherwise be legally gotten?

Does anyone care or understand what is taking place?

Not EVERYONE suggested as owing a debt actually does!

Not EVERYONE accused of a crime or error actually is guilty either!

Sometimes, the accused simply doesn't have the money, or means, to prove such to be so and therefore they have to go with the LEAST of all bad things presented as choice. The "either or else" scenario that often gives the average person no choice at all beyond bad or worse and sometimes even worser!

How did we ever get here?

This isn't how it was suppose to be.

Once upon a time, there were the types that were supposedly trying to protect the average person against a wrongful system and big corporations that got out of hand. When and how did that all change?

Where is the balance once sought?

How did it become so easy to collect from those not owing?
