Long before she was a TV judge, Judy Judy was a New York family court judge. She is a firm believer that everyone should be held accountable for their actions. In this book she cites court cases to support her views that the legal and social services systems of this country need major renovations and that in their current state they promote irresponsibility, fraud and cover-ups.
I really enjoyed this book as I totally agree with her views that the legal system is too quick to allow criminals to play the "I was the victim" role. We have a system that will allow such excuses as "I ate too many Twinkies or I did not get the respect I was owed" to factor into sentences for crimes.
