Miss Justice is iconographically depicted as a BLINDFOLDED Female holding a scale in one hand while gripping an Excalibur by her side in the other . We are told She is blindfolded so that She remains free of bias and prejudices that may occur when She views Evidence . We have been taught "Seeing is believing" yet SHE is BLINDFOLDED so, according to this dictum, She therefore MUST rely on Her other senses to administer the Truth . Also, She wields a Sword presumably to defend the Truth and to meet-out Exactions . We can only HOPE that She removes Her blindfold when punitive measures are at stake .
Here's the Question : Can we TRUST Miss Justice ???
