Letter to the editor: Advice for our justice system
I just came upon some “advice,” in Exodus 23, that would be helpful for our justice system to follow:
Do not spread false reports.
Do not help a guilty person by being a malicious witness.
Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong.
When you give testimony in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd, and do not show favoritism to a poor person in a lawsuit.
Do not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.
Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the innocent.
