Anders Wallner on Prejudiced Courts

I'm too busy for blogging today, running between meetings and lectures. Even so, I take a minute to recommend an article by Anders Wallner published in Swedish newspaper Sydsvenska Dagbladet. He writes about the mishandling of asylum cases in the Swedish court system. He explains how he as a juror has witnessed how colleagues have made racist remarks and voiced prejudiced opinions about the people they are supposed to hear in a fair trail. Although I have no experience from asylum cases, I do recognize the bias attitude from criminal court.
