It says a lot about a system where DAs and judges hold citizens responsible for things the citizens do, but refuse to accept responsibility for the things they intentionally or knowingly do. That is no longer a system with justice for all.
This happened in another state but don't fool yourself that there aren't judges and DAs in Texas who hold citizens responsible for what the citizen does, but hide behind "sovereign immunity" for their actions. That's the excuse of evil despots, not honorable men of good morals.

Why Some People Don't Trust "The System"

Mr. Lewis: "A former security guard and law enforcement officer...with a permit to carry a concealed weapon."
Mr. Ludwick: A "convicted felon" " who had a blood-alcohol level of 0.189 when tested at the hospital that night" got out the car he was driving and he and one of his passengers assaulted Mr. Lewis, who shot Mr. Ludwick in self defense.
"Jurors found Lewis’ actions entirely appropriate" but he spent 112 days in jail before his criminal trial. During that time, he was evicted and his property left on the curb, where most of it was stolen. The judge who signed the eviction didn't have Lewis brought from the jail for the hearing, and then he ruled against Mr. Lewis for failure to appear.
Polk County Attorney John Sarcone: "What Lewis’ case shows is that current law works, Sarcone said: “I don’t know why people are afraid of jury trials. I’m not.”"
