I think this is a ridiculous perspective, especially when virtually every European countries is on the inquisitorial system. (See The Trial.)
It is my opinion that the US is probably one of the best countries when it comes to the rights of a defendant ― well, before a guilty verdict.
I ask that you actually take a look at some of the kinds of people who run the federal courts in the United States. See something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXv7anhiIBY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXv7anhiIBY. These are serious legitimate people who are working in and trying to improve a highly developed yet highly imperfect legal system (and country).
