Do you by any chance live in California? If you did you would know that these courts out here are iffy at best. You may have heard of the OJ Trial. If so I'm sure it will give you food for thought. Nothing is taken for granted out here like it is back east.

I live on the West Coast. And this was a federal court, I believe. The 'procedures' are the same in all federal courts. You don't have the variances you find in state courts. And OJ was not tried in a federal court.
