Is There a Bias Against Men in the Legal System?

Question by Jake G: Is there a bias against men in the legal system?
I’m not saying this happens all the time, just in general. For instance, why is it that women who kill their children are given sympathy and sentenced to “treatment” while men who do the same thing are charged with murder and sentenced to life?

Again this is a general point. The only exception I can think of is Casey Anthony when she allegedly murder her daughter, Caylee.

Women who murder their children are given a life sentence, usually. They are only incarcerated in a mental facility if they are demonstrably insane.

Answer by OldTimey
Absolutely. You see it in the family courts even more. Fathers are definitely discriminated against.
