The legal system, often perceived as a bastion of poetic justice, operates on the prosaic justice principle, devoid of dramatic embellishments.
This wisdom, imparted to me during my early years as a lawyer, underscores the challenging task of dispensing justice impartially and effectively.

Given his past involvement in undermining such claims, it might be difficult to sympathize with him if he were to face repercussions for his actions.
The legal system, however, operates independently of personal biases or vendettas. While Stephanopoulos’ past actions may raise eyebrows, any consequences he faces should be determined solely based on the merits of the current situation, without being clouded by personal sentiments or desires for retribution.

In justice, it’s crucial to uphold fairness, impartiality, and adherence to the rule of law. Regardless of someone’s history or connections, the legal system must guarantee that justice is served fairly and without prejudice, sticking closely to the facts and the law.
