We will be helpless in the face of judicial atrocities as long as we fail to
recognize the relativity and subjectivity of criminality. When we have done so,
we may then understand that absolutely no one is immune from criminal
responsibility for one's actions, particularly in the eyes of one's victims.
Thus the decision of a judge or of a jury, in the exercise of his or their
functions, may be viewed as criminal if it victimizes someone.

In a free society, the role of the state (and of its agents) is to enforce
contractual obligations. It is not to revise these obligations without the
consent of all the parties concerned. Nor is it to create and impose contractual
obligations which never existed and to which all parties had not agreed. Any
state official (judge or jury) who does so may be accused of having committed a
crime.
