No, I never implied that scenario...I should've, perhaps, made myself a little more clearer. What i was implying/referring to, was the sharade we had with OJ Simpson trial, and the inability of judge Ito to control his court from the prosecution to the defense theatrics for the camera.
What I was refering to, was the little Samantha's case whereby Sheriff Carrona emphasised that they have strong, very strong evidence against that Avila animal.
Keep also in mind, that animal was set free prior, because of some sort of judicial techno babble, so that he can go again and kill little girls.
Well in my book, that jury and the lawyers involved in that case against Avila, have innocent blood on their hands.Period!
Now a days, in our esteemed judicial system the "VICTIMS" are put on trial, while everyone is going bonkers protecting criminals, and their so called "rights"[(the cops did not have their radars calibrated on time(speeding tickets and/or misc traffic violations), on the crime scene the rookie cop did not have his special gov. issued gloves on, while collecting evidence, one cop sez something un-PC about 20 Years ago, therefore he is disqualified as a witness, etc.,etc.)].
That's what I meant, and I will stick with it, like it or not!
I don't have an answer to the problem you describe. Defense attorneys attempt to defend guilty clients. But the prosecution and police also will attempt to convict someone who is innocent. Check out this thread, DNA Exonerates Man Jailed in 1984.
I'm not suggesting that they do this on purpose, at least most of the time. A few cases of prosecutorial and police conduct have occurred, but those are exceedingly rare.
What I am suggesting is that the adversarial system is the best system we can come up with. We can't let some "independent panel" be the investigator, judge, and jury. That is a grave threat to all of us.
The current system results in more guilty people getting off than innocent people it convicts. It's frustrating, but there has to be some satisfaction the system does result in the overwhelming percentage of people charged with a crime being found (or pled) guilty.
It's the exceptions that drive us nuts.
