去年,四名洛杉矶白人警察围殴不服取缔的黑人驾驶员,获得法院无罪判决,引发全美各地黑人暴动,抗议美国司法制度未尽伸张正义之责。 种族主义及偏见心态可能是造成此案偏颇结论的根由,但撇开这桩黑白对立的特例不说,美国法庭近年来的表现确实有许多值得非议之处。由于受到商业电视及广播媒体入侵,法庭已沦为秀场,不见了旧日的庄重与肃穆。

Last year, four Losangeles white police officers attacked the black drivers who were disaffected and were acquitted by the courts, triggering black riots throughout the United States and protesting the failure of the U.S. justice system to discharge its justice. Racism and prejudice may be the root cause of the biased conclusion in the case. But aside from this black-and-white exception, the U.S. tribunal’s performance in recent years indeed has many merits to blame. Due to commercial television and radio media intrusion, the court has become a show floor, missing the solemn and solemn old days.
