righthand says:

What your tax dollars buy, a judge. "About one-quarter of the Israelis polled thought that it is necessary to bribe someone in the judicial system, including judges, to receive a fair trial. Our judicial and legal system received a grade of 2.8, in a ranking in which a 5 attests to an extreme level of corruption." A jury cost more.
