Only lawyers stand to benefit from criminal trials
I beg to disagaree with this statement.
Just allow yourself a moment of thought to contemplate what your sentiments would be should you have the greatest of all misfortune ...loss of the dearest and most cherished or loved person in your life. Once the initial grief and pain of your loss subsides it will be replaced with a welling anger towards those reponsible. There is only one remedy which may be offered to those who have to endure such pain. That is the Justice that a criminal trial will mete out to those responsible and not a civil action for monetary restitution, where lawyers do in a large number of cases take the risk of reward under the contingent fee basis.
In criminal prosecutions lawyers do not benefit, it is the public interest that benefits. It is the ultimate deterrent for all to ensure that in conducting their aviation businesses they place greater value on human life over commercial gain, and advantage.
