Judgment > Truth = Injustice

Make the judgment, then make the facts fit the judgment. This is what is now happening to Venessa Mills.

Gossip, slander, hearsay, mental evaluations, and custody evaluations are all being employed to find something, anything, that can be magnified, twisted or used to prove the Court right.

Why else would a judge produce a written Order full of scaremongering and slander that was nowhere to be found in his verbal ruling? Why else would a judge treat a "good mother" of three children as if she were "brainwashed" and then order a 

mental evaluation? Why else would a judge order that three homeschooled children be placed in public school, and then order an evaluation? Why else would a judge order an evalution and then decide what he wants to be evaluated?

In such cases, even what is innocent - like a postcard - is twisted and used to "prove" some kind of wrongdoing. After the judgments are made, everyone strives to prove themselves right in their own selfish interests.

The witch hunts of old used a similar method: the accused was tied hand and foot and thrown into a river. If she floats and survives, then it is proof that she is a witch - to be burned at the stake. If she sinks and drowns, it is proof that she was innocent. Either way, of course, she ends up dead. It's the classic lose/lose scenario. And the biggest loser is the truth.

If there is one thing we can be sure of from here, it is that the truth will be extremely hard to find. Once prejudice and injustice are let loose, it is impossible to completely contain them.

The following clip is from the excellent movie, Judgment at Nurenburg. If you haven't seen it, I would highly recommend you buy it and watch it.
