It might make the lawyers hurry up a little and go with the truth instead of shredding it into microscopic layers

Same can be said about prosecutors with thin cases.

Either we believe in Constitutional protections, or we're no different than Libs and activist judges and their "living document"doctrine,which is how we've arrived at the point we're at regarding other lost liberties.

Something Ol' Ben said about safety and liberty comes to mind, also.

I agree; they are also lawyers, are they not?

Let's go with the "right to a speedy trial", for the benefit of the victims and their families, for starters. Let's also demand that neither side try the case in the media; and let's see that victims are not subjected to libel and slander by defense attorneys; and let's make sure victims and/or their families are not subjected to cruel and unusual punishment by having their reputations dragged through the mud by criminal defense attorneys or by endless delays or being endangered by slap-on-the-wrist sentences or no notification of parole. Just for starters.
