This is not a innocent versus guilty thing, this is two sides trying to win an argument. The BEST side wins. Ask OJ
You have a jury who wants to get back to earning a living, you have overworked and sometimes dishonest police, prosecutors, and defenders... It's hard to imagine what there is in the American justice system which is actually conducive to justice.

Unless you're loaded, of course, and then the reverse is true.
