When the government does a citizen wrong

One of today’s columnists writes about Joanne Urbina, who was in the news recently for the worst possible reason.

Urbina was the victim of a huge miscarriage of justice, and the government is clearly at fault. She was detained for five years without facing any charges. Happily for her, she was recently released. But this does not change the fact that she lost five years of her life due to the horrible inefficiency of the country’s legal system.
