Is this crazy or what

[McIvan]

The difference between your stories and the fantasy ones is that in yours people have just made "claims" in court.......they haven't actually won anything, and I would hope they don't.

Whereas in the malicious fantasy ones, they pretend that the juries and judges actually agreed and paid out huge sums of money, deliberately slandering both the legal system and the ordinary people making up a jury in one hit.

Big difference in concept. How much of people's disdain for the legal system these days is founded on lies like the stories in the initial post, or media deliberately leaving out all the context necessary to explain a decision? Not that I don't think it could be much better.....the adversarial litigation system is in my mind deeply flawed.....but no way is it as non-sensical as it is sometimes made out.
