Law should be about the search for the truth and carrying out justice not searching for profit and finding ways to 'win'.

do you have a better method for finding the truth and achieving justice than the adversarial system and jury trials? would be happy to hear it.
as it stands, the "court system" is founded on every person's right to defend themselves against criminal charges in a jury trial, and to seek out legal representation if they so choose. oj was charged with a crime. he hired a great defense team. that defense team convinced a theoretically impartial jury that there was reasonable doubt as to oj's guilt.
unless you want to abridge a person's right to defend themselves against criminal charges, to seek out legal representation, or to be tried before a jury, i don't see how you get a different result, given the standard of evidence. what do you want his defense team to do? not defend him to the best of their ability?
