Great post. One thing to also keep in mind is Judges that are corrupt and will not follow the law. Same for prosecutors, etc. I have personally witnessed someone get convicted by a jury that was influenced and controlled by the judge. This person had no attorney, and the judge told him if he let the jury know he was being tried without an attorney against his will that he would be put away for the rest of his life. He was not allowed to present his evidence, and was unable to give any jury instructions. He was also told if he appealed he would be dealt with.

This was about 10 years ago, and it has gotten a lot worse today. Most courts are corrupt and you will not likely find a fair trial or any justice within a courtroom today.
