It's more about what I don't see. Plea deals, bail bonds industry, treating extorted confession as a solid proof, prison sentences to add up to more than a reasonable expected lifespan, discovering truth not being a goal of the trial, electability of judges, being judged by unprepared impressionable idiots aka jury. The whole thing is a sinister theatre that tries to keep the form of wild times when people didn't know any better while introducing so many ways for the parties to suck money out of the process at expense of the accuser, accused and the taxpayer. No justice system is perfect but US (and UK) one is so far that it's grotesque.
