"It's a big club, and you ain't in it."

But you can get a one time membership for the right price. This is why I continue to call it "the legal industry" and not "the justice system." They sell you permission to commit crime/*. Though I will accept "the 'just us' system."

/*that is, the crime they charge you with and/or crimes they make up

Exactly. Legal for a price.

There's a case where a drunk millionaire killed a young man by slamming his Bentley into him at an intersection. The guy left the scene, making it a Felony Hit-and-Run, and then hid at his girlfriends house for about a week. The lawyer arranged for him to surrender himself, but he went home the same day until trial.

The lawyer then burned through maybe five juries to delay the case for over a year. In the end, the rich bastard only got a year of house arrest inside his mansion. No jail time. For driving drunk, lying about being drunk (despite the bartender saying he was drinking all night), leaving the scene of a crime and, oh yeah, killing someone.

I'm never going to forget that case. I'll never have ANY respect for America's courts or the cops.
