Oops...guess I was too quick to use a non-legal term for what I perceive to be nit-picking by over-zealous defense attorneys, more concerned with winning than with "doing justice." With your knowledge of the law, however, I do believe you know exactly what was meant by my equally "over-zealous" criticism. I'll let you review some cases and arrive at my meaning.
All of us who are devoted to the principles of our Declaration and Constitution must realize that Cicero, Blackstone, and our Founders would never envision justice as including a provision for enabling criminals to prey upon the innocent.
