In the news, our deeply flawed judicial system now threatens to make a jailbird out of Donald Trump....
In a totally rational world the job of District Attorney as it is known in America would not exist. NOBODY should ever have any sort of a career or money incentive for sending people to prison, much less for executing people. The job of District Attorney in America seems to involve almost limitless power and very little resembling accountability and granted there are good people who hold the job, the attraction which the job has for psychopaths is simply too great.
DA is often the first rung in the ladder of political careers and some of those careers are paved with the blood and shattered lives of innocents. Cases which are well known and easy to research on the internet include those of Janet Reno and her witch hunts, Scott Harshbarger, Mike Nifong, Martha Cloakley who almost became a US senator from Massachusetts, Ronnie Earle who managed to convict Tom Delay of being a Republican, that lunatic sheriff of Wenatchee Wa. who almost succeeded in having Wenatchee disincorporated when it could no longer buy insurance, the prosecutors in that hideous David Camm case in Indiana, the “Kids for Cash” judge and the prosecutors involved in that disaster in Scranton Pa., Angela Corey, Marilyn Mosby, and the list goes on.
What is actually needed is to scrap the adversarial system of justice and the job of DA altogether and adopt the inquisitorial system used in France in which the common incentive of all governmental parties involved in a criminal case is a determination of facts.

Please pass this one around.
There are also ethical standards that all are supposed to abide by.
Gone today. But that was a check on the system.
The adversarial system is the lifeblood of the legal industry. Good luck getting lawyers to give up their golden goose.
And DAs frequently become judges.
And replace it with what? Pelosi’s idea, the Klingon model, where you are simply guilty by default?
The Dung Beetle Party is bringing down their own democrazy with their stunts and antics. Damn commies are always pulling some kind of BS on the ignorant and gullible part of the population living in this country. Weaponizing the justice system is the kind of crap the fascist Nazis and Commies pull.
Oh, hell, no! I spent weeks in Barranquilla Columbia training the Colombian national police and military judge advocates in switching from their inquisitorial, eminently unfair system of justice to the adversarial system. There is virtually no right to see the evidence against the defendant until the case is on the judge’s desk, and it weighs heavily in favor of guilty until proven innocent.

“...the attraction which the job has for psychopaths is simply too great.”
Yes, psychopaths, sociopaths, are now being installed in these positions at sky-high rates, courtesy of George Soros and his billion$.
Professions like lawyer are supposed to be regulated by a centuries (millenia?) old ethic, and by laws as a distant second.
Don't blame the system when the fault lies in the corrupt individuals admitted to practice law.
not surprising this crap is posted by a Russian toadie
cuz Russia doesn’t really have any legal freedom under your dwarf dictator, does it?
(btw, the adversarial system was created by the Romans, and has worked for more than 2000 years ... don’t blame 1 out-of-control prosecutor)
And replace it with what? Pelosi’s idea, the Klingon model, where you are simply guilty by default?

THAT is exactly the aim of this weasel spin tripe article.
The presumption of innocence
till proven guilty
IS
The adversarial system of justice
The urinalist is just trying to use the negative sound of the word
” adversarial” to scare, agitate and con folks.
This
The adversarial system of justice is what sets murica apart from the rest of the world.
Everywhere else you have to prove innocence.
The inquisitorial system used in
the rest of the world
is guilty till
proven innocent.
That this urinalist thinks the
inquisitorial system is what we need must pine for the witch hunt and burning at the stake glory days.

Destroy the adversaries and win
That is the proper Adversarial outcome
If you're going to rant in any cogent manner, perhaps you shouldn't drink and pick up some news every now and then.
smh
btw, the adversarial system was created by the Romans, and has worked for more than 2000 years
And it will have worked for us for about 250 if they keep employing foreign trolls like you to distract the stupid while they ply their destructive changes to a perfectly sound document.
We’d have to retain the idea of jury trials.
"It's a terrible system, but far better than all of the alternatives".

Everywhere else you have to prove innocence.

Progs and their smears , typical.
Where is presumption of innocence enshrined in a bill of rights ,,.?
UK may give lip service to the adversarial judicial system , but it’s not a enumerated right. It’s defacto prove your innocence.
Not
The
Same
But you knew that ,
but you couldn’t pass up slandering me with innuendo.
Typical prog ( in drag ?)
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Nancy Pelosi Blasted Over Statement That Trump Can 'Prove Innocence'
Trump was NOT the first case; his has just put the hypocrisy on public display. There are innumerous instances across the country.
My original comment stands.

None of that has any bearing on what I posted.
Nancy is whacked, and wrong.
That doesn’t prove me wrong.
Yes , they are attempting to invert and change our judicial systems basic premise, yes it may All ready be defacto inquisition style.
None of that negates what I posted.
I think you must have been confused by my post.
( drinking early and accusing others of drinking early are you ? )
