In many cases, justice has triumphed; for example, murderers truly guilty have been executed. On a personal note, the justice system in the US has been a series of "kangaroo courts", where on the federal and city level, although I was 100% right and had irrefutable proof of such, I lost. In many jurisdictions, if you are a minority, you have one strike against you before you even take an oath.

There is Justice according to law but ONLY if administered justlky. If corrupted, NO there is no justice. Dealing with people may be clear conscience or corrupt. So it depends on clear conscience. Then there is GOD's justice which appears slow but is there if you have patience.
