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?

My main issue with the law/justice system in the united states is the fact that police officers are not educated enough to do their job. So many arrests are made unlawfully and so many abuses are committed by police; some type of reform is definitely needed.


Maybe I'm just an idealist though.

It's not just the cops. More abuses happen in the court room.

I like how you sheeple worry about one black guy who murdered somebody when white collar corporate crimes (don't underestimate how malicious these are) are a much better analogue for how money affects our justice system.

The court system certainly has problems, but very few cures exist that aren't worse than the disease. What's the alternative to what we have now?

Too soon.
