Doesn't God Hate the Injustice of the Average Plea Bargain?

Yes. He hates the perversion of truth and justice in any form, especially when it masquerades as truth and justice in the civic square.

Author Paul Craig Roberts outlined the dangers of plea bargaining in his 2000 book The Tyranny of Good Intentions.

"In a plea bargain a fictional crime is created and it serves as a substitute for the alleged crime. The fictional crime is a lessor one compared to the indictment crime. The defense attorney tells the defendant to accept the plea deal he has negotiated and not risk a jury trial that will annoy both the prosecutor and judge, with a corresponding higher punishment if found guilty.

"Plea bargaining results in defendants admitting to what did not happen in order to avoid the more severe charges in the indictment, often [unjustly] orchestrated in order to coerce a plea. Cleary, plea bargaining permits prosecutors to build cases on speculation rather than on evidence.

"It is only a short step from creating a fictional crime out of a real one to creating a fictional crime out of thin air. The step isn’t taken all at once. When the option of plea bargaining first surfaces, it is considered by everyone involved as a way of meting out punishment in a timely way. But with the passage of time, several things happen.

"As Plea Bargaining takes over from jury trials, as it has, the investigative work that is the basis for the indictment is not tested by judge and jury. This permits prosecutors to bring charges for which they have little or no evidence. The public presumes that the prosecutor has a case, and the prosecutor uses the media to create a presumption of guilt. Newspaper and television reports from anonymous leaks from the prosecutor’s office, preceded by the phrase “according to sources familiar with the investigation,” create a presumption of guilt, reducing the defendant’s chance of an objective jury. It would be unusual for a jury to find innocent a person already convicted in the media.

"The pressure builds as the prosecutor speaks of expanding the investigation to family, friends, employees, and in Trump’s case his attorneys. The defendant is told by his lawyer that even if a jury throws out most of the charges the one or two that remain may carry severe penalties. In RICO cases, the prosecutor can freeze the defendant’s assets, making it impossible for him to pay his attorneys.

"Meanwhile, the defendant’s attorney has been meeting with the prosecutor to arrange a plea bargain. Neither wants the trouble or risk of a trial. When the defendant is worn down and loses all hope of a fair, or affordable, trial, a deal is brokered.

"When the defendant, his attorney, and the prosecutor stand before the judge, the judge asks for assurance that the plea was voluntary and no deals prompted it, and he is given assurance. Judges, clerks, defense attorneys, persecutors, the defendant all are parties to the lie."

Isa 59:14  Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands afar off; For truth is fallen in the street, And equity cannot enter. 
Isa 59:15  So truth fails, And he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. Then the LORD saw it, and it displeased Him That there was no justice.

Be sure to floss...

...after eating that hamburger infected with the mRNA vaccines forced on the cattle herd.

And make sure you use the new secret mRNA floss.

From the publication Nature Biomedical Engineering:

“Flossing may be good for more than getting your dentist off your back—one day, it may also protect you from the flu. In an unorthodox approach to needle-free vaccines, researchers have developed a special kind of floss that can deliver proteins and inactive viruses to...gumlines and trigger immune responses that protect against infectious disease."
