When the Scales Tip: How Justice Turned Against the Innocent
What if the very system designed to protect you became your greatest threat? A federal agent appears at your door, seizes your home, drains your bank account, and charges you with crimes that didn't exist when you supposedly committed them. No evidence required. No chance to defend yourself. This isn't some dystopian fantasy-it's happening across America right now, to ordinary people whose only crime was trusting that law would shield them from tyranny rather than become its instrument. We imprison more of our own citizens than any nation on Earth. Northwestern University researchers discovered that innocent defendants now face a 25-37% chance of wrongful conviction, while the guilty have only a 10-13% chance of acquittal. Something has gone profoundly wrong with American justice, and understanding how we lost our legal protections has never been more urgent. The Rights of Englishmen represent humanity's greatest achievement against arbitrary power-a set of principles that protect everyone equally, regardless of wealth or status. These protections emerged from centuries of struggle, codified by King Alfred in the ninth century, enshrined in the Magna Carta, and secured through the Glorious Revolution. Each generation fought to preserve essential safeguards: no crime without intent, certainty in law, prohibition of retroactive punishment, warrant requirements, protection against self-incrimination, due process, and habeas corpus. American colonists didn't reject English law when they declared independence-they asserted their rights as Englishmen against King George III's violations. But this precious inheritance now faces extinction.
