It is a good concern to have. The longer I work with hubby, the more dismayed I am at our system as it is. But it is still the best there is, even if it doesn’t always work.
I agree the system may be the best there is but it certainly needs some revisions. It would be interesting to know ‘when’ exactly attorneys were given the power to select jurors....also ‘when’ did that selection process slide into the dumpster, rather than selecting those who were competant to those who were not. And sense this seems to be known why haven’t those in the system made an effort to correct it? Course that would be like asking politicians to give up their golden parachutes.
I am still of the mindset that the courts today are not about finding the truth....the “win” is the focus. So the attorneys take center stage rather than the accused...it’s all about them...rather than justice.
Years ago a well respected Judge in my hometown stepped down because he saw that attorneys no longer were interested in discovering the truth..and the antics pulled by most disgusted him. So this has had to be going on for sometime.
