That certainly happens too. It's not like judges and cops aren't prejudiced 
too, tho.

Sometimes a hearing will be moved to a different town because the prejudice 
around the case is too high. I'm not sure you could get away with accusing a 
judge of that.

As I said, it isn't necessarily the best way of working things. This just 
gives you the reason people are in *favor* of it. I didn't say that 
overwhelms the reasons it's bad.
