Murders started increasing starting in 1960.

Miranda decision devised just in time for a murderous crime wave.

LOL. The Federal courts assertion of specious process rights in cases like Miranda or Gideon was responded to by legislatures by upping both the penalties and scope of criminal law, which badly affected everyone by turning many into overnight felons and enormously increasing the power of a district attorney to plea bargain.

So we now have a system where almost no criminal cases go to trial at all, DAs can extort pleas at will, and the primary job of court-appointed counsel is to get his client to plead guilty.

But all the process T's are crossed and I's dotted.
