Justice

As Michael Patrick Ryan understood it the criminal justice system was in place to protect the innocent prosecute the guilty and preserve peace in the land. But what he got tangled up in none of the above was accomplished. An innocent's life was forever ruined the guilty were free to continue their destruction and peace did not reign. And so his options were clear. If he couldn't depend on the authorities to do their job he would have to take justice in his own hands . . . and so he did.
