How's your faith in the judicial system?

ATTORNEY CAUGHT CHANGING BRIEFS IN FEDERAL COURT

In what is destined to become a classic case and urban legend, an attorney was caught changing briefs in federal court after he "inadvertantly" filed three pages of emails that indicated he was allegedly involved with records tampering in a federal court case in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Putting a new twist on the meaning behind self-incrimination, no one would have known that the attorney had allegedly tampered with the court records except three pages of emails that detailed what was done to the court records were attached to a brief filed with the court by the attorney involved. http://www.maximumadvocacy.com/Court_records.html

Filing the emails drew attention to the attorney's conduct otherwise it might have gone unnoticed.

The emails between the attorney’s law firm and federal court employees discuss filing backdated documents, tell how “the other ‘wrong document’ is "gone,” and informs a court employee that “attached is the correct Memorandum which needs to replace the current” document filed on March 8, 2006. The “Dawn-Johnson” emails, as they’ve become known, are dated April 4, 2006.

How's your faith in the judicial system now?
After reviewing this information, do you think the average person can receive a fair hearing in the judicial system?
