The word 'inquisitorial' means an inquiry, as opposed to some sort of a deal in which you either walk or go to prison based on whether your lawyer or some prosecutor put on a better show in front of a jury. There are too many people sitting around in prisons for shit they didn't do for that reason. In fact there are people like Frank Fuster still sitting around in prison for stuff that never even happened.
When they first started using DNA evidence they figured it might eliminate the prime suspect in felony cases in something like one or two percent of cases. They were in a state of shock when that turned out to be more like 35%. That translates into some huge number of people sitting around in prisons for stuff they didn't do since the prime suspect in a felony usually goes to prison.
Our entire justice system is a sick joke. Best advice I can give anybody: do everything you humanly can to avoid any contact with it.
I agree with you!
And the best way to avoid contact with our Justice System is to NOT COMMIT ANY CRIMES!
I guess Tookie never learned that.
