There Can Be No Equal

The Court Stands Against Any Winds That Blow As Havens Of Refuge For Those Who Might Otherwise Suffer Because They Are Helpless, Weak, Outnumbered, Or Because They Are Nonconforming Victims Of Prejudice Or Public Excitement.

From The Very Beginning, Our State And National Constitutions And Laws Have Laid Great Emphasis On Procedural And Substantive Safeguards Designed To Assure Fair Trials Before Impartial Tribunals In Which Every Defendant Stands Equal Before The Law.
