Bloodsworth Quotes Showing 1-3 of 3
“There is a strain of hubris that affects certain people in power, people with authority. It can be slow to develop, like a dormant infection. If not guarded against, it can breed an unhealthy arrogance, a cocksureness that their judgments are beyond fallacy. Such self-righteousness allows them to close their minds to new possibilities. It can cause right-thinking people to do terrible things. The devil has a long tail.”
Tim Junkin, Bloodsworth: The True Story of One Man's Triumph over Injustice
“Only those willing to impose the death penalty, if justified by the facts, are left on the prospective panel.”
Tim Junkin, Bloodsworth: The True Story of One Man's Triumph over Injustice
“Whereas civil trials usually are fought between parties of equal resources, such is typically not the case in criminal court.”
