COURT SYSTEM PROBLEM OCT 22^ND, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Court-ordered publication bans for no apparent reason,

Is it another Youth Criminal Justice Act silly season?

Have they hidden a name or allowed a repeat offender to walk?

If the public knew, would they show their disapproval and squawk?

Or have we gone politically correct and over to their side?

Or has justice gone like Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde?

Or is this just another secret name that the system will keep?

Could we, as a nation, have turned into a flock of sheep?

This is supposed to be a democracy – not a secret shop,

Where too frequent publication bans seem to be nonstop,

Every word spoken in court should known in the community,

Otherwise certain criminals and their friends may have immunity.
