Everyone has the right to a day in court, the right to be represented by competent legal counsel, and to be judged by a jury of their peers. The government is fundamentally biased in it's own favor, massively asymmetrically equipped, and needs to be balanced against the mores of the populace it serves.
Note: This has degenerate cases, That too is okay. A government is there to serve the People, and if the People look at a case the Government thinks is airtight, and goes "nah", that's it. Case closed. The People have spoken.
We have a legal system, not a Justice System. No matter how hard people want the latter, that's the ideal we'll always fall short of. The happiness, if you will, we are pursuing.
