There are reasons to agree with that and to disagree as well. What has always intrigued me is the public defenders who have to put up substantial defense for people who are clearly guilty. In a measurable number of those cases, the juries are confused or split and bad guys walk.
It is a flawed system, but still the best.
The system isn’t flawed, it’s the corrupt cops and prosecutors that lead people into thinking it is flawed.
If prosecutors turned over ALL the evidence required by the constitution, wrongful convictions would be few and far between.
Because prosecutors are corrupt, the evidence would have to be overwhelming before I would vote for a death penalty.
