That's all nice and well said i guess, but it's all talk. Simlar to what i said.
You have any facts to back it up with?
Or is all you have opinion and conjecture?
Facts? Ozmo, I just mentioned the CURRENT Duke case.....I now assume you think there IS legit evidence of a crime? Furthermore, if you want facts, simply look to the innocence project and attorney, Barry Sheck. They are handling mostly DNA based crimes and believe it or not lots of people are in prison even though THEIR DNA was not on or around the victim, BUT anothers WAS. That's lots of facts right there, but that only is a small fraction of the many poor people in prison and wrongfully convicted of crimes.
Speaking of the Barry Schecks' innocence project, there recently was a man in Brooklyn released after 18 years in prison. In the EARLY to mid 90's it was declared his DNA did not match the profile of the perpetrator, YET the head da (woman) refused to gie him a new trial or even respond to his case....until Barry Scheck got it 10 years later. She recently ran for office in CT and I think she lost...of course most could see that a person like that doesn't belong in a position to make decisions.
These are all serious crimes. We can not even imagine how many poor people on the streets near a robbery or something get pulled in every day and simply can NOT defend themselves.
How in the world is it fair that a prosecutors office, with unlimited funds, can go against a public defender making 28 thousand a year for 12 hours a day work? You tell me. At least when the rich get accused of a crime (oj) they have the cash to defend themselves and then the whole universe screams out about his "high paid" legal team. I guarantee you one thing, as much money as OJ had, the State of california had more.
What's fair is fair, both the da office and the defendant should be given a attorney at the same level and work load.
Do you think defense attorneys success or not depends on the clients being innocent? NO, it simply depends on the ability of the attorney to "tell a good story", convince and mislead and hope the jury buys it. THE SAME GOES FOR THE PROSECUTORS. The state WANTS people in jail! If a new DA is unsuccessful at putting people in jail he WILL be replaced!
It's a bs game...and that is all it is to the attorneys, a b.s. GAME.
