In Alison Weir's book "The Wars of the Roses," the perception of justice is significantly undermined. The prevailing belief is that the judicial system favors those with financial means, making it seem that only individuals who can afford to pay for favorable outcomes receive fair treatment in legal matters.

This situation contributes to a growing skepticism among the populace regarding the integrity of the judiciary. The idea that justice is essentially for sale erodes trust and creates a divide, leaving many feeling powerless and disenfranchised by a system that should be impartial and equitable.
