Given Erol Incedal, prosecuted in one of the few actual "secret trials", was found not guilty I'd say that suggests a pretty decent basis for believing the system isn't rigged. I'd even go so far as to say that secret trials are likely to be the ones with higher acquittal rates as the further advanced the plot is the less likely the need for secrecy as more conventional evidence can be led by itself. The judiciary and bar are still independent. The Court of Appeal regularly sides against the government on issues relating to terrorism trials - for instance why you can know the name of Erol Incedal. Compared to Roman system on the continent, or the much more politicised US system, I'd definitely contend the UK is one of the fairest judicial systems on the planet to be accused of a serious crime.
