Because every single defendant brought into the system is guilty? Really? Gosh, then why even bother with the pretense of a trial anyway? If they weren't guilty, they wouldn't BE there.
Damn it Greg, that is not what I said, anymore than you are saying that every single defendant brought into the system is innocent.


"To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it." --Thomas Jefferson
