It is because of viewpoints like yours that I celebrate the U.S. legal system, and that I despise the enforcement apparatus for it's discrimination against highly intelligent people. It is not difficult to become the butt end of the prosecutor's ire; and when faced with the resources of the State, how amazing that one can not only actually hold the State accountable to follow it's own process for depriving one of one's own life and liberty; and that one can actually fight tyranny at the same time by forcing the Government to tip their hands, and reveal their methods through sufficient attention to detail and the right questions. How fantastic that a legal system acknowledges that a State with an agenda will wring all sorts of construed meaning out of silence; and pre-emptively writes out large swathes of that type of testimony (even if I disagree with some courts interpretation of testimony). Restricting the State to having to make a case on material facts. Many warts that our legal system may have, most of the more pressing ones are problems of will to prosecute or investigate tough cases and lackluster investigatory technique when done. The "seems pretty sus" barrier has no place in a justice system. Material facts. The world around a genuine wrong-doer will tell more than enough to convict them without playing games with "well they made the investigator's life more difficult by not opening the door and answering questions" and a follow up game of who is better at formulating the more intellectually palatable leading questions. Not one person should have to lift a finger to help contribute to building the walls in which the State seeks to contain them, and every innocent suspect deserves the finest council to help them navigate the vagaries of the legal system, and even the guilty deserve to have the case depriving them of life and liberty be conducted to the squeakiest degree humanly possible, with the aid of a robust defense. To do anything less is an affront on human decency, and the integrity of the judicial apparatus.
