How do you know that?
- rayiner 12y agoI used to work for a court. Believe it or not, prosecutors have better things to do than try and make marginal cases. The vast majority of time when they bring the case, the evidence is overwhelming. Now, you may or may not agree with the law (maybe having a kilo of crack in your car trunk shouldn't be a crime), but that's a separate issue from whether a jury trial would be more effective in truth finding.
- mindslight 12y agoLet's not kid ourselves - most people [arrested by the police, charged with a crime, sent to prison] are guilty. This is what makes preserving justice for the exceptions such a hard problem.
- rayiner 12y agoI totally agree with that last sentence.
