For what it's worth, I agree with you that it's better for a guilty man to go free than an innocent man to be convicted. I'm also a full believer in jury nullification. And yes, some people are indeed framed. That doesn't change the fact though that almost everyone who comes into court broke the law. Whether or not the law is just is a totally different matter.

And most plead guilty prior to trial- all of the focus of the critics seems to be on the 10% or less that reach trial. A defense attorney who knew his client was guilty would attempt to set up a plea bargain, since trials usually favor the prosecution. This "crisis" is overblown, IMO. There will always be error in any system run by humans.
