Of course there are people with problems in any system, but the American system of justice is based on the idea that it is better for 100 guilty people to go free than for one innocent person to be punished.
That is a better concept of justice than what much of the world has, and Americans are lucky to live under a system like that. It's not perfect, and there are always people on both sides who will try to exploit it.
