Mr. Soares has indeed been incredible throughout this horror. But he is discovering what countless scores of victims and their families already know: The justice system is geared toward the one in the dock. Every effort is made to ensure he has the fairest of trials and that's just the beginning. Victims are a footnote. It's insane, but that's essentially what goes on.
Sadly, our criminal justice system (heck, every criminal justice system in the free world, as far as I know) is not about establishing truth or determining guilt or innocence. It is a sport. Every trial is a game, and both sides play to win. Defense lawyers make their names and their money not by defending the innocent, but by getting their clients off with almost total disregard for the facts. DAs' careers are made not by protecting the public and insuring that justice is served, but by having the highest conviction rate possible.
I'm not claiming I have a better way all worked out in my head, but there has to be something better than what we've got.
