1. Nebraska has a big criminal justice problem

I speak as a criminal justice activist who works nationally. Not only is the system corrupt, the people in it don't know what they are doing. Both the police and the justice system are grossly unprofessional. Look at the case of the Beatrice Six, where the state had to pay out something like $28 million.

There are a few knowledgeable lawyers and judges, but they are damn few and far between.
