See, that's a different problem entirely. Rules of evidence are one thing, most of which have justifications even if they seem (and are) silly. An uncooperative judge really can't be helped, and certainly does nothing good for anyone's sense of justice.

most judges were criminal defense lawyers because crime does pay, and its easier to better your station with more money. and it pays way better than the prosecutor makes.

Except most criminal defendants get court-appointed overworked public defenders who make half what the associates in the DA's office make, which is why insolvent defendants always make deals because they'll lose in court even if they're innocent.

Crime only pays if it's white-collar or you're already rich. If you're in a position where you need to rob a bank or steal a car, you're fucked if you ever land in court.

However, while each individual is in a bad spot, if each and every accused individual demanded a jury trial (as per their constitutional right), they would completely shut down the justice system.

Tuhl i was more referring to those wealthy criminals.

the idiots at the bottom of the pole aren't smart enough to have the money to get the good lawyers.

a defense attorney obviously isnt getting rich off of them.

Watch enough Law & Order and you'll soon figure out why good lawyers get paid so friggin much. They can find the tiniest loophole in the law, or stretch the truth so much it makes the most hardcore rapist look like a saint. And yeah, true shitbags walk because of it. Hi5 legal system.
