Who is accountable? Who is immune? How much does it cost to have a chance to win? Or, is the game rigged and the poor (or disfavored) need not apply?Does it matter who (or what) is right? Or is it a matter of who is on what side and how much money and manpower that side has to create their scenario for the system to consider? A public relations campaign against the word of the little feller?
Sara Harvey has asked for help in presenting her husband’s case to the “judging” system, but to obtain that help — she must have money for a retainer and all the hours that the case might entail. On the other hand, had this been a case that the ACLU might have been interested in — like her right to kill off Gary, rather than fight to keep him alive — would she have been given a free ride? Under those circumstances, would someone else have been willing to pay the bill to get her case represented and out there to create a precedence?
We think this is fair?
Maybe it is time to not only review the politics in Washington — but rather – maybe it is time to review the judicial system that is not always a system that represents justice. Maybe it is time to start protecting our vulnerable.
Maybe… just maybe… it’s time to start getting things right!

The Judicial System and the Fight for Justice
The title says it all. No one should have to fight for justice in the land of the free.
ReplyDeleteSara Harvey has been at her husband's side all along. She is very brave and I pray her persistance pays off for his sake.
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with the judge in the Harvey case? It would be so simple for him to just send Harvey home.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carrie K. Hutchens, for following this story and speaking out for the disabled and unfortunate. Bless you.
ReplyDeleteTo Sadie: It's not just a fight for justice. It's a game, like checkers. The only problem is that the other side - the big corporations and lawyers - win. more often than not.
ReplyDeleteIn short, the game is rigged against the little guy!
Of course, cheating alone doesn't do the job - the judge has to be on their side, too, which begs the question: what's in it for him/her?
No; people should not have to go bankrupt in pursuit of justice.
Let's use our PEOPLE POWER to fight the sick system!
We shouldn't have to fight for justice and common sense. The world's gone astray and honor and dignity are getting harder and harder to find.
ReplyDeleteSend Gary Harvey home for crying out loud.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the problem is his court-appointed protectors don't have an ounce of empathy. How about if they spend a week in a room just like Gary Harveys? Isolated and alone.
Maybe then they could see how cruel they have been to this man who has done nothing wrong.
I am sorry to know that Mrs. Harvey still is fighting this battle. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that being at home is better for Gary Harvey and that if he could say, that's what he'd say.
ReplyDeleteIt just takes humanity. And I believe these people have lost it. They are cold.
Sara Harvey has my deepest respect.
