Thats an undestandable emotional response. By the way, what is a NinjaPoodle.

I think that most attourney's believe they are defending due process of law rather the individual per se, because in an absolute sense they have no way of knowing whether the person "committed" the crime or not, or what circumstances may have existed.

Remember, that it is an adversarial process, so your eventual guilt or innocence will very much depend on how good the two opposing attournies are, and what resources they have avilable to them.

Also, the prosecution has an overwhelming advantage both in resources and "moral authority".

That is why we get so outraged when a person walks, the vast maority cop a plea or are convicted.
