We don't really have "courts of justice". Prosecuters aren't interested in justice, only convictions.

Conscience, a co knowledge with oneself. The witness borne to ones conduct by conscience. That faculty by which we apprehend the will of God, as that which is designed to govern our lives. So much can be said on the matter.
Truth is universal.
Yes Jim, and in the court of conscience the Prosecuter wishes to sift us like sand.
In this court of conscience there is only one mediator between God and man.

I am right there with this quote.
Too bad it does not work in this broken justice system. .

Absolute justice is damnation for all. ;-) Conscience is morality in action.
