Amid Calls for Reform, Maine’s Criminal Defense System Reaches a “Breaking Point”
Following a DUI Arrest, Maine Defense Lawyer Banned From Representing Defendants
#Prophet #Muhammad’s “Rules of War”:
Protect #trees, #children, the #elderly, places of #worship, the #defenseless, #women, #religious #leaders, #animals, & #prisoners.
“And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a #mercy to the )world” (Qur’an 21:107).
The key theme here is *MERCY*.
Poor people are surveilled and imprisoned, monitored and fined. They are trapped within a social #panopticon that permits and encourages their constant observation. Poor people are treated presumptively as #lawbreakers, and as a result, the state approaches them in a way that leaves them #defenseless before it. To be #poor is to be almost completely lacking in the basic #civilrights associated with what an earlier generation would have called bourgeois #individualism."
