Since you say:
I believe there have been innocent people put to death, so I think we need to be damn sure we got the right person.
, I know of that, of some cases and I agree with you there.
Plus, I am finding that many lawyers and courts are also criminal run, because there is no justice there at all, because the judge and crown atterneys do not allow you to present facts in order to definately show that you are innocent ! And, more and more, there are demands for sheria laws in Canada and the USA and other democraties, that do not allow the innocent to be found not guilty !
It is now nearly impossible to find a good lawyers these days if you are innocent ! - Did you know ?
