Following a High-Profile Court Case 

Danny: Have you been following the Schirru case? 

Carol: Yeah, I have. I think he’s guilty. 

Danny: You’re kidding, right? He’s innocent and this is a show trial. The district attorney is conducting a witch-hunt for his own political ambitions. 

Carol: No, he’s not. It is a high-profile case, but that’s only because he wants to make an example of Schirru. People like him should be off the streets. Putting him in jail sends a message to other criminals. 

Danny: What kind of message? 

Carol: The message that the government is cracking down. 

Danny: I think it’s just grandstanding and Schirru is being made a sacrificial lamb. 

Carol: You can believe what you like, but I think it’s great that the district attorney is taking a stand. 

Danny: Yes, but he seems to be doing it at the expense of real justice. 

Carol: Not from where I’m standing1

Danny: Then you need to find a new place to stand – preferably one without blind spots.
