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)
Destroy the adversaries and win
That is the proper Adversarial outcome
