Someone has to represent the guilty.

So a verdict of "not guilty" can be returned? What in your mind is the purpose of a trial?

[Valpal1]

Our system accepts the fact that sometimes the guilty will be freed in order that the innocent not be convicted.

The guilty being freed is the lesser evil in the eyes of the law. And in my own as well.

One has to accept that perfect justice is not attaiable and that it is better to err on the side of the defendant, because to punish the innocent is a great injustice than letting the guilty go free.

Besides, DW was found guilty. Another great day in America, they system worked!
