Sounds like slavery with extra steps.

Sounds like pure slavery:

  1. catch someone

  2. take away their freedom

  3. force them to work

Oh, there's a trial and some other stuff. There are extra steps. Still slavery, though.

Oh, there's a trial and some other stuff.

Only if you're one of the lucky outliers.

In fiscal year 2022, only 290 of 71,954 defendants in federal criminal cases – about 0.4% – went to trial and were acquitted, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of the latest available statistics from the federal judiciary. Another 1,379 went to trial and were found guilty (1.9%).

The overwhelming majority of defendants in federal criminal cases that year did not go to trial at all. About nine-in-ten (89.5%) pleaded guilty, while another 8.2% had their case dismissed at some point in the judicial process, according to the data from the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.

To get a slave, you had to go to the slave market. Same deal

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
