The biggest problem with the justice system today is actually the corruption of the entire jury system. Kids are being taught in school not to think for themselves and think critically but instead to seek an authoritative source. In other words don't figure it out yourself look it up. Don't do the math just use a calculator etc. Combined with the everyone is a winner mentality it creates an insidious problem...

The jury then looks to authority to make their "decision" about guilt or innocence. The problem is the "authority in the room is the judge and or the DA... NOT the defense lawyer. This sets the stage for guilty until PROVEN innocent. A defendant has to show up and prove to the jury he didn't do it. So for example if you don't testify on your own behalf its seen as guilt.

I can't stress enough that the way the left has corrupted our schools has far reaching effects on our legal system. I've seen it first hand. Innocent people are being railroaded into jail because the entire system is utterly broken... because common sense and critical thinking is broken in the general population.
