Actually, we have a legal system in which two counsel fights from opposite side. The counsel who is cleverer and more intelligent, will win the case. It means we don't have a system which we have designed to find the truth. In reality we have made a system where the quality of the counsel is the most important things. It depends on the ability of the counsel that he/she can make a criminal free and in other conditions he/she can bring death sentence to an innocent person as well.

So, this is the system where money matters the most. Justice has no place in such a system. I am not saying this about a particular country but, this is the common phenomenon all over the world.

I agree. I think some are better than others at it, but in the end, it will come down to the ability of legal counsel to work a case. Which doesn't always equate to justice. However, in the case of the criminals, if they get off once, they did to find ways to get back in front of a judge and jury, so in those cases of repeat offenders, they're bound to trip over their own ego, arrogance, ineptness or compulsion, however you wish to define it.

It would be good if both sides of the equation were working towards justice and truth, rather than solely the best interests of who they represent. A lot more guilty and a lot less innocent would end up in prison.

This is the system we have.
