    My mom made me watch the original 12 Angry Men when I was a little kid. It resonated then and today.

    well maybe a bit naive, as I don't think most (some 90-95% or so) of charges ever get a trail, aren't most criminal charges in this country plea bargained? However, even I would hope most murder charges aren't (or things are further gone than I ever suspected).

    I certainly share your preference for due process over the current trial-by-zeitgeist. Shows you what a dinosaur I am. But nobody wants to do the hard work anymore. They prefer a more glandular approach to justice.
