(1125) The Runaway Jury by John Grisham

One of my brother-in-law is a US citizen, he has been chosen to serve as part of a jury before.

Most jury duty is tedious, boring and not dangerous. But what the panel of jury went through in this book is extraordinary.

Which is worse: a rigged jury or a corrupt judge? In many parts of the world, justice is for sale if you have the right amount and know the right people.

But, there is an ultimate judge: God. I will try and quote proverbs: the net of justice may be made up of holes but nothing much escapes it. (sky net grey grey, holey and no escape. Said in Cantonese) The wheel of justice grinds exceedingly slowly.
