"The lady or the Tiger?" Justice system

I would rather be tried under our justice system If I were a cussed for a crime. I would want to be seen by a judge because I could get a lawyer to help me prove my case wrong or right and I would be able to tell my side of the story or situation in my own words. I would not want a king deciding my punishment for my consequence. It’s not really fair to pick a door and behind one of the doors there’s a tiger and behind the other there’s a lady. What if I picked the tiger and I was innocent? What if I picked the lady and I was guilty? That isn’t a good system. People deserve a consequence for there crimes and justice for there innocents. The united states justice system is okay. It could be better.

" The lady or the Tiger?" Which door?

In the story the lady or the Tiger the Man got accused of falling in love with the kings daughter.  They were in love with each other, but the king couldn’t know. The king found out and the man got  in trouble and had to go to the  arena  for his trial. In the arena two doors. Behind one door there’s a tiger and behind the other there’s a woman. If the man chooses the door with tiger behind it he is guilty and will be eaten by the tiger. If he chooses the one with the women he will marry her and walk away innocent. The kings’ daughter made an arm movement telling the man which door to pick. I think he opened the door with the tiger because the princess would be very upset if her lover had to marry another. She would rather see the one she loves dead than with someone else.
